Also, I have seen many flight schools come and go over the years.

So...let's see: They're pricing it wrong?

Often a school's rental price structure has more to do with local
market forces than it has to do with costs and a proper return on capital
investment. Another factor is that great aviation folks are (way too
often) not great business people.

And that can make renting more expensive in other ways than direct costs
(i.e., losing the aircraft availability).
