Well, they do seem to have one of the highest rates in the area!!! I
work in Portland and don't even consider renting from them. Their rates
for a 172 are around $135-140/hr (wet). Yea, it's a glass panel, but I
don't need a glass panel for my flying--not for that much money!

Definitely not Wally Olson at Evergreen offering primary training in
Taylorcraft under the GI Bill. Sounds like a certificate mill, and
how one feels about flight training is an indicator of how well one
may get on there. Different strokes.

I doubt if they're hiring, but I flew to McMinnville the weekend
before last and got old-fashioned treatment from Cirrus Aviation
there. (Including the courtesy car).

For anyone flying Interstate 5 in CA, 100LL at Willows (Glen County)
was $3.99, self-serve. It was also 102 degrees F, but I recommend the
on-field restaurant unreservedly.
