Default 5 Canceled Flights in a Row

I'm starting to understand why we're the only hotel in America that
sells airplane rides.


Commercial operation?


Not us. We act as an agent for our local airport FBO, Jet-Air. We
sell "boarding passes" for $75, for a 30-minute instructional ride.

Jet-Air, in turn, bills us $75. We act as a flow-through, and do not
make money on the deal. In fact, by the time you factor in our
credit card fees, the time spent setting up the flights, the ride to/
from the airport, we're losing money -- but it's worth it to spread
the good word about GA.

Well, usually it is... This week, I'm not so sure.
