Default Visited Skymates Today

Drove down to Arlington and had a chat with Ryan, met Luca (he was pretty busy) and got a chance to talk to John and Brett for a moment.

All in all, I got a good vibe from the place. My opinion here is that it's not as stiff or corporate or professional as ATP - which is neither a bad thing or a good thing - it's just different. But it did feel like I'd get more...I don't know what the word is, exactly...access, maybe?...to my instruction and instructors.

Also sat in a G1000-equipped 172. Really nice airplane. Shame I probably wouldn't get to fly it, cost-wise.

Going to crunch numbers, make up a pro/con list, and figure out what's what.

Thanks, all. I enjoyed my visit there.

Yeah, just spent some time reading it. Sounds like the weather was really hosing you for a while. I'm writing up a number of questions to e-mail Ryan about the school, but I'd like to ask you a few via PM as well, if that's okay with you.
