Frustrated Student Pilot About to Quit

Since you run a hotel instead of a GA business, I'm sure you've already
made the assessment that you can better pay for your GA habit by running
a hotel instead of an FBO :-)

Well, neither one is going to anyone rich... ;-)

I notice Bill Marriott picked hotels rather than the FBO route.

Yep, the real money is in franchising.

That's not what we're about, however. (Although we have talked about
opening another aviation-theme hotel in Florida, and running that one in the
winters, once the kids are grown...)

Someplace like Lakeland, maybe?
Jay has this "fly-for-free" thing figured out.
Expand the business, or even the research for expanding the business,
and all his flying is tax deductable.

That would be about right! ;-)

Every flight ends at an FBO -- and FBOs are critical in our marketing plan.
What better way to spread the word to pilots than through their trusted FBO?

And since the owners must be met with repeatedly, given promotional material
for display, schmoozed, etc., flying to FBOs is a very real part of our
business.
