The point is that renting has to be more expensive than buying (and

100+/- hours) as the costs are the same. That FBOs and clubs are
inefficient business people is only peripherally a factor.

Assuming the rental fleet GETS USED enough.

Would you rent a car from Avis, Hertz, Enterprise rather than buy your
own?

If I drove as often as I fly, yes.

So we come back to the original question: At what point does buying become
more effective than renting?

We've seen a sh&tlo*d of 30-50 hour/year pilots giving their reasons for
renting, but Dan is NOT in that category.

It seems there's a lot of pilots with only slightly more flight hours than
MXMANIAC. :~(
