When everyone seems low on money these days, an extra $50-60 per flight lesson isn't an easy of a sell as you think it is. Even the career oriented students are telling me that they are running out of money and just need to get done. Then the students of mine that aren't career oriented, are working on private pilot, and turning local flights into XC's really doesn't benefit them at all (at least not enough to compensate for the extra money spent.)
