Actually, often you don't get what you pay for either.
What I always say is "you don't get what you don't pay for." That's true almost 100% of the time. "Bob Noel" wrote in message ... In article , (Wiley) wrote: In aviation, you really do get what you pay for. but it's not always what you thought you were going to get. :-( -- Bob Noel |

You always get less than you pay for so, the less you pay, the less you

Wiley wrote: The second annual cost over 23k, as the squawk list had 130 items on it. The whole point of this thread is that your annual didn't cost anything close to $23,000. An annual is an *inspection*, nothing more. Your *annual* cost perhaps $1,000 and you spent $22,000 on repairs. George Patterson Love, n.: A form of temporary insanity afflicting the young. It is curable either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more often to the physician than to the patient. |

Um that's nitpicking but okay, George... The annual plus repairs -

"Wiley" wrote in message om... Um that's nitpicking but okay, George... The annual plus repairs - referred to by everyone as "the annual" cost over 23k. If proper use of English and proper deriviation of issues based on legal definitions is "nitpicking", then perhaps our education system is even more in need of overhaul/replacement than originally thought.

Wiley wrote: Um that's nitpicking but okay, George... The annual plus repairs - referred to by everyone as "the annual" cost over 23k. No, it's NOT nitpicking. Again. The ENTIRE POINT OF THIS THREAD is that NOBODY should refer to that as "the annual cost". IT ISN'T. George Patterson Love, n.: A form of temporary insanity afflicting the young. It is curable either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more often to the physician than to the patient. |
