What does the price of a plane have to do with its airworthiness?

Maybe the fact that price is usually a measure of "suitability for a
purpose"?

Really? On what planet, Tom?


Ya, I had this same thought. Price rarely is a measure of suitability
for a purpose. I agree with ya. In fact, suitability, quality,
price, and popularity often have little to do with each other.

When did the FAA include price of the airplane in its definition of
airworthiness?

It doesn't, "economic reality" does.

Boy, you sure have an active imagination. Of course, this only
applies to the resale price of an airplane, doesn't it? It doesn't
apply to the acquisition price, because then, according to your
rules, anything goes, doesn't it? Capitalistic airworthiness at its
best?

I know. It's kind of funny. Accordingly, if we run with his logic,
there are never deals to be had in aviation. In fact, we can ignore
every social issue which affects mankind such as money problems, loss
of interest, medical problems, or desire to rapidly acquire another
possession. Nope, paying absoluete top dollar is the only way to
aquire anything of worth. I wonder if he purchased anything other than
new, and paid above sticker to boot? If he did, he clearly got ripped
off.

Just having some fun with the obvious, which was seemingly overlooked
in the grandparent message.
