[seek the advice of an expert not internet commenters when it comes to this stuff] From a safety standpoint, age isn’t your problem - it’s whether the aircraft has been properly maintained. As to price, they’re cheap because they 1) have me

See my original comment - those are super-midsized (challenger 350/3500) to large cabin ( challenger 650 and Globals) The market is: very light jet, light jet, midsize, super-midsize, large, large/long range, private airliner Bomb

I would call that mismanagement, no?

From a taxonomy standpoint, I think those are very light jets. To be clear, I’m not saying the light jet market is dead or anything definitive like that, but the fact that Bombardier is shutting down their well established light jet offerin

I think the interesting element is what it says about the market for private jets in that there isn’t a perceived market for light jets, but that the super-midsized to large cabin+ is still very viable, any thoughts on what’s driving that?

I think if it it more like having a fire Marshall inspect a building, doesn’t mean it can’t catch fire the next day, but at least you know that it’s not death trap (smoke alarms, fire doors, sprinklers etc all check out)

Not anonymously but if you checked-in, checked a bag, and then didn’t board, typically your bag may not still fly, now on most international flights if you don’t board, they go pull the bag from the aircraft. https://pubsonline.i

Please explain how they were bailed out, which my comment was in reference to? Sounds like you have a problem with their fee structure - but not sure where the connection with a bailout is. Separately, you do realize that (generalizing) hed

What are you talking about? The city/county charges for those services - us municipalities are going broke for two simple reasons 1) public pensions 2) mismanagement

To be clear tax payers bailed out the banking industry and borrowers/homeowners, not hedge funds. (I’m not defending them just saying they weren’t the ones with their hands out (that time))

You’d be shocked by the trash equities that are, check QKLS (no idea what it is) but it has market cap of less than $10k. Sure we could but the whole thing for not a ton more. $1m would be plenty.

I find the only way I can get a little traction with people on this subject is through the consequences on insurance markets: “Imagine you your car insurance is triple because waze said you speed” “Imagine you and your entire extended famil

Except if you look where the gap is the widest, it’s places that have high paying blue collar jobs in heavy industry that are the big employers and male dominated (e.g Odessa, TX = oilfield, Beaumont, TX = Refining and petrochemical, Houma,

I think you make a great distinction between the visible and invisible homeless, and that the solutions to those two problems are totally different.

I’ve seen this in supposedly “sophisticated” businesses as well 1) people misjudge what value others (the market) puts on their goods services and price much lower than value (this is especially true in hobby type activities where if you t

My point is that an average consumer does not and should not need to understand some complex embedded technology in the products they buy and use, and that their lack of interest and understanding of such technologies can’t be used to infer

It shouldn’t be on the todo list of the average user to be knowledgeable on this subject, just like the average consumer should not have to be an expert in airbags to expect the ones installed in their car to work.

Interview several firms that have done deals in your space/vertical, and where this will be a meaningful transaction to the firm/md - and ask them for valuation guidance (e.g. what they think they think they can sell your company

The parent is referring to known condition vs an unknown emergency event. As an analogy in the case above the car owner is having their insurance company pay for their gasoline - where you are referring to an insurer paying for a car accid
