Default RE: Industry ethics?


ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

Can anybody see what's wrong with this picture?
Other than the fact that they fiberglass pole is probably going to pull the entire plant out of the ground???


What Minn said it smack on correct. Just remember what PT Barnun said "There's a sucker born every minute". Unfortunately that's true. If people didn't fall for sales pitches we would never see those infomercials on every night on TV. Heck, if it weren't for suckers out there we wouldn't have spam in our email inbox everyday. Those emails get sent out because somewhere in the world somebody is actually buying the products they advertise, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

The companies that make planes are the same way, they are just doing business. They advertise that you "can" learn on a plane, but they don't guarantee that you will learn on it. Heck, with a good enough instructor you could probably learn on a 747!!! In this day and age the phase "Buyer Beware" is more true than ever. This is one thing that Minnflyer, Bruce, Myself and the other regular members of the Beginner's forum have set our mind to do. We hope to help educate new pilots about the goods and bads with any type of plane they are considering. We're just trying to help and make sure that new pilots don't fall for the sales pitch everytime
