Come on. Do you really think the schools teach students to land that way? Of course not. Be realistic.
ding ding ding! that is exactly the case. the ones who go across the airport are the ones who are tapping into their instrument rating funds just to finish their private cuz they cant get past lesson 20 in the syllabus. they realize that if they continue on that pace at DCA they will run out of money so they bail.
a good decision on their part if they want to get all their ratings with the money they had, but do not confuse them with the quality people that come out of DCA with quality training.
