The economy sucks, if anyone has forgotten. I'm looking for the best rates possible in my area: I've been told $191 dual for a 172 G1000, and I haven't found anything too much better. They have also had to get rid of two of their other 172s for financial purposes. Has anyone ever haggled with these guys at the FBOs? I've been in touch with the manager of the FBO trying to feel him out. These planes have been sitting on the ramp quite a bit lately, and the online scheduling system shows that these instructors aren't exactly pressed for time.
I wasn't sure if I would be way out line trying to ask for something lower. Any tips? I was looking to get this guy to $175/hour.
I'm finishing school right now, so going out of state or halfway across the state is not really feasible. The flight school in question is about 15 minutes from campus, so I'd really like to do it there.
Thanks for your help,
Zach
