Well, it's not a prerequisite, but if you're local to FLL it helps tremendously. Spirit, being as cheap an organization as they are, doesn't want to pay their instructors to travel…..so being in FLL makes their costs go WAAAAY down. Sucking up to the DO helps too, from what I've heard……YMMV.

Not yet, but heading that direction.
