I guess it really comes down to the cost of operation.
I mean, can we really be expecting to make money out of this industry when the bulk of us are flying equipment which is in most cases 30 or so years older than today's dollar? That is, the dollar we are using to operate the equipment.
I suppose until the industry 'revolutionises' a little we're all going to continue doing our hard yards. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better, too.
Anyhow, better get back to sanding corrosion out of the panels on the C172 unpaid...
