Average of, say, $72 an hour in fuel alone. $129 an hour seems a little on the low side. And spamming newsgroups is a poor way to generate business, believe me. |

I was just posting that the place was good business "A+++++ customer service" because it is rare in aviation. Most places treat you good then take your money and then treat you like crap! Clyde Frederickson who runs Multi Engine Training is a stand up business man and respects his clients and will not B.S. you. They go above and beyond what is required with rides to and from motel, and have complementary coffee, snacks & soda pop. It is something that should be posted all over the aviation community to keep this guy in business so that people in the future can have a great experience with a good business. Steven L.

Wow, no wonder I rarely post on Usenet any more! The fact that you probably caught heat for posting a video of an aileron roll in a C152 has nothing to do with it, eh? I was just posting that the place was good business "A+++++ customer service" because it is rare in aviation. Your original post in this thread read to me like canned spam. Your latest post does not. Take a look at the two styles of writing and see if you can identify a difference. -- Peter |

Wow, no wonder I rarely post on Usenet any more! I was just posting that the
place was good business "A+++++ customer service" because... Then tell us stories. Read r.a.p and you'll see others posting stories of their first solo, their rides in a B-whatever, trip reports, experiences with different kinds of instructors... stuff with detail, imagery, human interest; stuff that puts you in the cockpit with them. Stories that convey, without any advertising hype, the substance of what makes you judge this place as you do. Then we can read those stories and be impressed that, for example, they have "complementary coffee, snacks & soda pop", or whatever it is that really makes them a valuable asset to the GA community. For example, did you flunk your checkride after training with them, and then they gave you extensive free re-training so that you could pass it? Did they analyse their failure to teach you, your failure to learn, your nerves, whatever, and concentrate on that? What was it like? That could be a very interesting story in itself, and no "A++++++ service" would be needed. And anything other than =your= =personal= experience is just a rehash of their publicity booklet. What are your detailled =personal= experiences with this outfit? What was your first flight like? What did you find on preflight? This is how you contribute to the newsgroup. The cost aspect is quite secondary (and uninteresting). Looking for a bargain in flight training is like looking for a bargain in a brain surgeon. (In my case, I just look for one that has their own magnifying glass. ![]() It is something that should be posted all over the aviation community to keep this guy in business That is the =definition= os spam.

Less generalities. More details. More explanations. Work from simple to complex. Tell us why you think this place is so great. Begin at the beginning. Teach us something. Jim |

![]() Aw, now you've placed me in the position of appearing to defend an article posted by the infamous Mr. Rhine. On Thu, 09 Mar 2006 16:09:45 GMT, Jose wrote in : : What are your detailled =personal= experiences with this outfit? What was your first flight like? What did you find on preflight? This is how you contribute to the newsgroup. Actually, the newsgroup charter specifies: Information pertinent to pilots of general aviation aircraft which would not fall into one of the other non-misc rec.aviation groups. So it is _information_ (not personal experience) that is crucial for on-topic articles posted to this newsgroup. It is something that should be posted all over the aviation community to keep this guy in business That is the =definition= os spam. Well, that's partially true. http://www.antionline.com/jargon/spam.php spam vt.,vi.,n. [from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data. See also buffer overflow, overrun screw, smash the stack. 2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with irrelevant or inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with as little as one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What do you think of abortion?" on soc.women). This is often done with cross-posting (e.g. any message which is crossposted to alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with troll behavior; the latter more specific term has become more common. 3. To send many identical or nearly-identical messages separately to a large number of Usenet newsgroups. This is more specifically called `ECP', Excessive Cross-Posting. This is one sure way to infuriate nearly everyone on the Net. See also velveeta and jello. 4. To bombard a newsgroup with multiple copies of a message. This is more specifically called `EMP', Excessive Multi-Posting. 5. To mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email messages, particularly those containing advertising. Especially used when the mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms include UCE, UBE. 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output. For instance, someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and comes back to find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam". The later definitions have become much more prevalent as the Internet has opened up to non-techies, and to most people senses 3 4 and 5 are now primary. All three behaviors are considered abuse of the net, and are almost universally grounds for termination of the originator's email account or network connection. In these senses the term `spam' has gone mainstream, though without its original sense or folkloric freight - there is apparently a widespread myth among lusers that "spamming" is what happens when you dump cans of Spam into a revolving fan. |

So it is _information_ (not personal experience) that is crucial for
on-topic articles posted to this newsgroup. Well then most of the articles here are off topic. And I daresay personal experience counts as information. As for the definition of spam, we all write our own dictionaries, don't we? And even a teeny bit of Hormel canned spiced ham is still spam.
