I rather doubt that AOPA;'s contribution was large enough for them to
want to buy back the airplanes. I don't know if Boston lawyers bill $400 an hour, but I am sure they earn more an hour than I do in a day. As always, only the lawyers win. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I don't know if Boston lawyers bill $400 an hour, but I am sure they earn more an hour than I do in a day. As always, only the lawyers win. I see AOPA making claims about contributions that aren't enough to help the pilots keep their planes. In other words, in a twisted way, AOPA is getting something (for very little) out of this too. So what does "a substantial contribution" mean if the pilots are having this much trouble with what is left of the bill? Why not simply provide the legal staff free of charge? AOPA does have lawyers on staff, no? - Andrew |

Lawyers write all the rules of engagement, they have a legal monopoly (ABA) and a virtual monopoly in the legislatures -- did you think they'd set it up any other way? -- "Flying an airplane is just like riding a bike -- it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes" -- Capt.
