Airline ticket pricing and the paint store.

Can anyone find this analogy where the guy at the paint store is explaining how the price of a gallon of paint can fluctuate where it's a comparison to airline ticket prices?

Re: Online ground school

Thanks guys...I see that the course is available for 270 days once you're signed up. How does it work? Are there different modules to complete and 'send in'? Or can you go back and review anytime?

Re: Anyone had vision correction surgery lately?

How long is the recovery realistically with PRK? I've heard up to 5 days staying in a dark room, no driving, no TV and a lot of pain. Is that true?
