CJ, "NW", and I all fly in roughly the same area. There are numerous

Hmm. Then my next thought, given the context, is "burning bridges". Still,
sthompson's story is not that dissimilar to NW's.

Strange.

After many conversations with a couple of CFIs with whom I fly, I've come to
a conclusion: They're lousy businessmen. Believe it or not, they do all
they can to train their students in the most cost-effective way possible.
What the hell are they thinking?
