I was just about to say this. I go to school in Arizona, but I live in Illinois. My step dad is a pilot, so I can literally come home (or go anywhere) every weekend if I had the energy for it.Also if you have a parent that works in the industry you can fly stand by for free, the reservation sales agent will usually tell you what your chances are of getting on a certain flight, then you just put yourself stand by for the same flight each week. It is the one perk I miss from being in the airline industry. When I first met my dh, it was like "Oh hey I feel like going to San Diego this weekend..." BOOM off we went!
But hey I get all the free bandaids I can carry now....
