Yeah, never had a little (or a lot) of ice stop us yet.
As far as the electronic check stuff goes, the nay-sayers are overreacting.
Fact 1: Yes, check flying is going to go away someday, but not anytime soon. It costs banks 7 to 8 cents per check to fly it vs. 11 to 12 cents to process it electronically. You do the math. Yes, at some point down the road these costs will reverse but that is still several years away.
Fact 2: The Federal Reserve may have a requirment that all check transactions be done electronically by late 2004 (I'm still not sure about that one), but banks will still have a requirement to move checks TO THEIR OWN PROCESSING CENTERS to accomplish that. IOW, individual banks won't have that capability for several years because of cost (read Fact 1) and the physical hardware that would have to be bought, installed, tested, etc. Companies that depend largely on Fed work (ie, Airnet) may be in trouble, but at Ram Air, Fed work only accounts for a small amount of our business. Most of our flying is to private bank processing centers.
If you want to build some awesome flight experience, this is still a great place to do it. If weather scares you or you like to whine alot, don't apply.
