Couldn't agree with you more, RJS. If I could find someone to pay me $100k a year to fly a Cherokee out of the airport down the street from my house, I'd be all over that like white on rice!

Just a nostalgic moment, but I miss taking off with full tanks in a 172 and enjoying a nice flight up the California coast. No MELs, no PMSing FAs, no lines of convective activity, no mentally retarded TSA agents... ahh, the good 'ole days!

At least the flight bennies are nice though.
