Wings Aloft does a lot of training. It would be interesting to hear from a local how they compare to Galvins. In the mid-90's when I was around BFI, I'd say they were about the same. They are the two big players in Seattle and very expensive. There are a couple of schools at Renton, a couple a PAE, and many others at the smaller airports in the area. I think the farther you get away from Seattle the cheaper it is, just like everything else. Personally, I wouldn't want to instruct at BFI, anyways, cause it's crazy busy and too close to SEA.

I think BEFA at Renton would be a great place to instruct. Interesting fleet and not quite as crazy as BFI. I never got involved with BEFA cause I didn't meet the quals. You have to be a Boeing employee or work for the government, as I recall.
