good point...but once privated, I plan on doing some extensive puddle jumping.

Love Thunderstorms from the ground...Know they're the seventh level in the air...have been a passenger through a bad one...

Yeah you'll never fly into snow, like if you get hired at Southwest? Maybe you'll be out on 55th and Central

Metro...simply ment wouldnt the snow right now case a problem with training? if thunderstorms do, wouldnt a snowstorm?

<i'm a newbie remember...no clue what does and does not effect a training schedule as far as time in the sky>

AZ - is outside of PHX great learning environment since there is nothing else to do.

FL - The Keys, need I say more...oh yeah, Spring Break. "Are we really here to study?"

Pan Am - Anyone that steals the name and the logo I would have to blackball, but then my old man did fly the Clipper and retire on the Whale.

My suggestion is to fly whereever your can parlay your Comm/Multi into a right seat job and start building time.

Good luck!

Baja.

Why not IOWA or ILLINOIZ

Ask some current students trying to earn their ratings in Iowa or Illinois this question!

I'm doing 100% ok here in IL. We've had better WX this winter than FL.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEETER

Not quite stolen...from http://www.panamacademy.com/whoweare.asp?id=14

The Academy was established by Pan American World Airways in 1980 in Miami, Florida, and continued to operate even after the airline declared bankruptcy in December 1991.

AZ is nice. However, be prepared for 120 degree days. Learning to fly in that kind of conditions are not fun, trust me. Now for the flight schools in AZ. I Wouldnt touch RAA, they love to give you the big sales pitch about how good the quality of instructing is, and trust me from experience, they are not.
Pan Am is even worse. Seeing the quality of instructors that come out of that place, I wouldnt even go near there. I have seen very good flight instructors come from Westwind. But take my word. I have been an instructor and seen which school produces good students, and RAA and PanAm is not even close to cutting it.
