almost wins the exploding Havana cigar for trying to tell you ALL what's at RISK in this competition, ie.,
If you're flying for $$ then you're doing it for the wrong reasons
In other words, as CT7 puts it:
Don't trust them [particular crowd in question] as far as you can throw them
Which isn't very far, OR, as I'm trying to tell you:
A): A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE EASILY PARTED!
B): HOW TO MAKE A SMALL FORTUNE IN AVIATION? START WITH A BIG ONE (FORTUNE, YOU FOOLS...........YOURS!) AND END UP WITH A SMALL ONE(FORTUNE)
c): VARIATIONS ON A) or B) WILL ALMOST CERTSINLY APPLY IF YOU DON"T LISTEN!
CAPICE?
PS. For the record, I never got 'stung' by this lot of mongrels or any others on my way thyrough the revolving door of aviation for the 35 years that I was involved. Had a nephew who did though!
