A few years ago while managing a hobby store I had many people sick of the going to the field and waiting all day for a couple of flights W/ 4 different instructors.
At that time I began to offer intense one on one instruction at a time that was convient for the student for a fee. The students all learned at an accelerated rate and learned well. ALL my "for pay" students felt it was a bargan and often recommended it to frustrated students at the various fields. Some of the local fliers were very offended that I was charging for my time. Others thought it was a great idea. I wish that this type of deal was avialable to me when I was learning. Instead of taking a season or two (this was before simulators) my students were soloing in about 3-4 weeks and all were and cont. to be very very happy.
MY 2 cents
