.7 to wait to take off? Come on now..........tell the truth. The most I've ever racked up waiting to take off was .5 and that was with nine planes in line ahead of me back when we had Chinese everywhere.
To answer the first question:
BECAUSE IT IS SPARTAN AND IT COSTS $30,000+ to attend the A&P school!!!!!
Tulsa Technology center is MUCH more modern, has MUCH better facilities and costs $6,000!!!!!

I was flying for Riverside Flight Center, but just moved out to Arizona because I just wasn't making the money I needed there. I loved all of the people there, but I just wasn't making ends meet.

As for the .7 Why would I lie about that? We were taking off on 1L. Not that I SAT there for .7. From engine start, taxi, run-up, and then waiting in line. The line went from that angled hold-short line all the way past the tower. We had just as many Indians there as you guys had Chinese.

And don't think I'm baggin' on Spartan. Some of my closest friends on this planet are Black Cats. It is just widely known that you can get the same for much less at many other places. Spartan=ERAU, UND, etc...
