And I hate that perception too (not to 7500 the thread) I've had passengers back out of flying on a King Air 200 because it was too small. I've also been given a higher premium on my life insurance because even though I'm a working commercial pilot, I'm not employed by an airline. Once I start class in May, my rates will drop to the norm.
