    Sure, no prob. It's called marketing towards a demographic to increase their customer base. Anyway, I'm not going to change your mind about this, so I will defer to the same answer I give my wife we are at an impasse, and that is "yes dear".

    You do realize that Aviate is a flight school, right? Like, a money making proposition? And trying to increase your customer base is good for business?
