Default Damaged aircraft - should I pay?


"Morgans" wrote his 1st response:

Let's see I have 4 or 5 days notice. I have to spend most of one day
standing in line getting enough plywood to cover the house to try to

protect
that major investment..that by the way the entire family benefits from.


I don't buy it. You would only have to move the plane 60 miles or so.
There is time in there to move "that" major investment, also.


Morgans responds the second time:

Finally, you never can be sure if by moving you are not going from bad
to worse. I have friends in South Florida who didn't leave when
Andrew approached. They could go North or South (though not too far).
When I asked (in quite colorful language) why they didn't bug out,
they replied there was uncertainty where exactly the storm would
strike, forecast information was confusing, and they didn't know
until it was too late which way to run.


You board up the house, move the stuff in it onto the top of cabinets, or
boards on top of ladders; you get the picture. one person takes the car
and
bugs out early with the stuff that has to be moved. You wait with the
plane, and the others that want to go with you until the track is pretty
certain, then bug out in the plane. You beat all of the last minute
freeway
traffic that way, also.

Right, life and family is most important. If I am ever in similar
situations, I'll sure make every attempt to make it out with the plane.

Ok. This guy is just insensitive or just a moron. Possibly both. Almost
certainly he has never been faced with the situations described. Or perhaps
he (she?) is a super human. Or perhaps s/he just thinks so. Either way, into
the ignore file goes he. or her. whatever.
