California. Prior to that, they indicated they lived in Saudi
Arabia. Al-Bayoumi further appears as cosigner and guarantor for
AlHazmi and Al-Mihdhar on their rental application. Al-Bayoumi
recommended AlHazmi and Al-Mihdhar to the property manager of the

their lease because they did not have established credit. According
to the apartment manager of the Parkwood Apartments, Al-Bayoumi
occasionally paid rent for AlHazmi and Al-Mihdhar. Although Al-
Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar always appeared to have cash available, no
employment was indicated on the rental application. AlHazmi and Al-
Mihdhar vacated the apartment at the Parkwood complex in May 2000 and
left no forwarding address however, for unknown reasons, an address

spent two hours with
you in the simulator to assess your skill level. He
informs me that to recapture your instrument skills to
PTS Standards would involve around 20 hours of dual
I .J._ instruction.
In light of your continuing disenchantment with Sawyer
Aviation, it is my recommendation that you pursue further
training elsewhere. Your expectations of "something for
nothing" and persistent complaints to Darrell Sawyer
concerns us all. Perhaps this it the best remedy.
- Good luck in your search for a more suitable flying
environment and in the attainment of your aviation goals.
