Whats the closest airport to you?

Bakersfield. It's about a 1/4 mile away.

Excuse my ignorance but is bakersfield a small airport ? I dont see a direct flight and Ohare usually has a direct flight to most places. Would you happen to know if your airport code is bfl?

It's small. Nothing direct except Las Vegas, Denver and Phoenix. And for the oil field guys, Houston.

It's usually pretty simple. A 1 stop flight most anywhere.

BFL sounds right

Ohare to Phoenix than Bakerfield is the quickest. But you are always limited to flights out. When I visit Ironworks I fly nonstop into LA and rent a car for the drive up (gives me a chance to enjoy a little of CA.) You have way more choices flight wise direct to LA, the time to get there with car rental is the same as the layover flights and the direct flight is less expensive.

This is our first one. We have have about the response I thought we would have. I either need to raise the price for a smaller class or have less instructors per student. I have had alot more rookies sign up then expected. Which means I need more machines which means once again raise the price. I'm trying to pay these guys that instruct 2.5 times their regular wages to give up their weekends.

Plus June seems to be the much better week for students but not instructors.

Gotcha. But why not make another one in fall or winter?That way you can keep the costs down and keep same instructors per student,so everyone gets better quality education. :D I really would love to attend, but it will be impossible this time,hope you can set up another one or make it more regular.Just a thought.
