Well, I'll apply as soon as I get my IPC done. I'm on my third FBO trying to get it done.

First FBO went out of business between my BFR and IPC.

Second one has canceled on me two out of three times over the past week and a half. The last time was today, when I drove for 1.5 hours only to find the plane was down for MX and they didn't bother to call me. I spent three hours in my truck and $25 in gas for nothing.

Trying a third FBO on Monday.

Based on this experience, I don't blame people for not going the FBO route with their flight training. It's taken me two weeks and three FBOs just to get an IPC done. I can't imagine trying to get everything up to MEI at an FBO.
