Doesn't make any sense to me.
If you LIVE in Palm Beach and you are taking flying lessons...then why would you suddenly cancel your flight lessons in the middle?
I would think that you would continue working on your hours to get your license.
There are a finite group of people living in Palm Beach on any given year who are taking flying lessons. They didn't all suddenly decide to stop did they? That's my question.
By the way, I don't need you to link me to something to explain real life. I live it. 
My question was in essence about if flight schools were "going out of business" because of the President's restricted air space on the weekends
I can see where some people might take classes on Saturday and Sunday because they work during the week.
So yeah, that's an understandable complaint.
One that I'm sure was a problem for Dallas Airport when Pres. Bush went to his ranch.
Or for the airport in Hawaii when Pres. Obama went there.
The problem here for these flight schools would be that Pres. Trump heads down every weekend to get out of D.C. |
Here is a story on the effect he is having on the aviation business in Florida. It isn't just flight schools that could have issues, but companies that do scenic flights, parachute jumps, crop dusting and others.
The difference between the issues of disruption when Bush went to his ranch in Texas or Obama going to Hawaii and Trump going to Florida is that those two didn't spend nearly every weekend there. Having to close down or run in a limited capacity for a few days while the POTUS is in town a few times a year is one thing. Having to do it nearly every weekend is another.
The inconvenience aside, his travel like this is also expensive. At this rate he is going to spend over $120 million just on travel this year alone. He says the country is so broke we have to make budget cuts, but apparently we can afford to taxi his ass down to Florida so he can play golf every weekend.
