You're right Kay. Sometimes the reason is to turn checkout flights
into a profit center. You didn't say that all of the rules existed for
a "good" reason :-))

If I were the OP, I'd lose this outfit. 4 hrs for a 172 checkout is
nothing more the blantant milking. Sure, flying with an instructor may
not be a bad idea, but the fact that they're forcing a long checkout,
plus the fact that they won't let him fly in the 152 that he's
currently checked out in, raises a whole bunch of red flags.
