Common sence lesson one, when one wishes to purchase a Rolls Royce one should expect to pay a large amount of money, when one only wants to part with the price of a Lada, one will only be able to purchase a Lada. KISS!
Some of the prices quoted today are why less than operating costs therefore something has to give, service is generally the first thing left out of the quoted price followed quickly by safety and reliability. Add to that underpaid overworked pilots that have bought their ratings in a bucket shop and you have what you paid for!
