that old chestnut of 100 quid a hour for your porche
Every time the cost of maintenance gets raised, someone brings up the posh car rates versus the helicopter rates comparison.
What a load of TOSH.
How many of you Porche/Bentley owners spend a minimum of 10k and up to 25k on maintenance each year?
Er, about none, methinks. Your Porche/Bentley goes in for a couple of days each year, you get a bill for between 500 quid and 5k and they give you a replacement Porche/Bentley for the duration.
That's why helicopter owners get a tad miffed when they can't get their helicopter back in the air.
I agree with Jeepys. It may be no cheaper going to a small maintenance outfit, but at least you won't be treated like an inconvenient neccessity to the improvement of the bottom line on a P&L.
Big Ls.
