Wings Aloft is a good place to learn, and rent whether you are flying as a hobby or for your job.
I had no flight experience when I signed up for lessons, but they found me an instructor I got along with, designed the lessons and schedule to fit my needs, and got my flying comfortably in the first two lessons. I've been learning ever since, and am on track towards a PPL (Private Pilot's License).
Staff is friendly, helpful, and always available. In addition to lessons, there are educational seminars, and fun & social events.

We have frequent flier miles with Alaska. And what is so great about that you never lose your miles. Since my husband and I fly occasionally to visit family it takes us awhile to build up enough miles to turn in for a free flight. Also, they have other airlines that we can book on and still get miles for Alaska's Frequent Flier Plan. Recently my husband flew on American Airlines for business and got miles for his frequent flier plan.This was an added bonus to the business trip!
We have always had excellent service, easy ticket purchasing, choices of seating, reliable & on-time flights ( in fact we have arrived early on several of our flights), easy check-in, nice flight attendants on all of our flights with Alaska Airlines.
I just wish they flew to Denver where my brother lives. That may come in the future since they did set up a flight to Denver from Seattle, so now I need to wait for Southern California to Denver. But we have no problem getting to northern Oregon where my daughter lives and most of our flights are to that destination.
The price of the tickets are comparable to the Southwest Airlines ticket prices and I don't have to stop in San Jose or Oakland - I can go non-stop. So for a few dollars more I fly Alaska Airlines to get the non-stop flight. It is seldom that you can get a Southwest Airline Ticket that doesn't involve some kind of stop or stops and you end up adding hours to your traveling time. I don't want to spend all day in a plane and airport - I want to get to my destination so I can enjoy the people I came to visit. My husband just went on a business trip to Albuquerque, N.M. and had to fly through Phoenix to get there. It tried real hard to get an American flight but since it was last minute there were not very many flights available for the next day. Then he could have received more flight miles for Alaska. http://www.alaskaairlines.com

I recently flew Alaska airlines to California on a business trip. I hate flying. Absolutely hate it. I have to say that Alaska makes flying a lot more pleasant than some of it's competitors (*cough* United *cough*). The airplane we flew on was clean and new - the seats were leather and comfortable and I didn't feel quite as squished as I have on other carriers. I think there may be an extra couple of inces of pitch on the newer Alaska airlines fleet. The flight attendants were very pleasant and on the way back we had a funny captain, who made fun of his first officer's landing. (It was a bit bouncy and the captain came on and said, "Folks I'm sorry about that. I hate it when he does that.")
My outbound flight was delayed an hour (late inbound aircraft) and Alaska did a fantasic job of turning the plane around once it arrived. We ended up departing 20 minutes earlier than the estimate.
I have to fly to Dallas next month for business - and I chose Alaska. They had the best times and the best prices.

I recently flew Southwest from Seattle to San Francisco and back. I flew out on the earliest flight at 6:20. I had lots of space, I slept like a baby, and even got there early. There were a few talkers, but they weren't disruptive. I woke up in time for the the landing--easiest flight ever.
And then flew home midafternoon on Saturday. Biggest mistake. The plane was booked to capacity. Worse than that, there were more than 5 misbehaving kids on the plane. Maybe it's the single person in me talking, but I know kids need to fly, but really do you have to take them along if you can't control them?! What about the other passengers? From the kids standing on the seats, to the babies wailing, to the children's DVDs that were playing loud enough for me to hear the singing, I couldn't wait to get off. The flight dragged and dragged.
On the plus side, flight service was very friendly, and the ticket was very reasonable.
