$727,000 is insane for a 60 year old design airplane!

And don't blow any liability horse**** up my ass. It's bull**** and
you know it. It's greed and gullibility.


That's the going price for a new A36. It's what Raytheon needs to
charge to make money on the airplane, and it finds a market at that
price. What's the problem?


They must be an incredibly bloated company to need that much money. In
fact they are. I have relatives that work at the plant on Webb Rd. Of
couirse the production people are not munificently paid, in fact a
career there on the rivet driving side will be punctuated with layoffs
like anywhere else. The executives live like maharajahs of course.

I think they have imported Hollywood accountants who can make the most
profitable enterprises lose money on paper.

You have no idea how much I'd like to see some company, foreign or
domestic, slam a trocar in their carcass and drain off a few hundred
gallons of that pure profit blood bloating their morbidly obese asses
so they can fit through the front door and out on thweir ass on Kellogg
Ave. Sooner or later, someone will.
