Speculation on why NJA didn't make an NBAA announcement

[fischman]

I didn't know you were buddies with Mr Moisture? Explain?

I have spoken.

A little off topic aviation-wise, but I just looked at the 999 calculator due to Gunfyter's reply. Someone really needs to tell Herman Cain to step away from the crack pipe if he thinks that businesses will pass the savings from lower corporate taxes onto consumers (see the note at the bottom of the calculator). That will NEVER happen. Ever.

 

[gunfyter]

Are you kidding me? You think NetJets won't tell the OEMs to pass on that tax savings? You think WalMart won't tell the few non-Chinese suppliers to cut their price?

Its just a matter of time before we are all flying bigger jets for more pay :beer:

Firstly, others do benefit from the "extra profits", and secondly, "extra profits" will bring more entrants into the marketplace which usually results in a lower market price. I recall something from Economics 101 and supply and demand.

Also, do not forget who the "evil corporations" are -- the vast majority os stock ownership is owned, directly or indirectly, by pension funds, 401k plans, etc. So the profits do return.

As and aside, a certain amount of "extra profits" are needed so that a company can afford a business jet, therefore increasing the demand for corporate jet pilots. Without profits, no matter how much of a time savings it may be, a company must be able to afford to pay the flight department expenses.

It's hopeless for most to understand this concept. Comprehension of business and economic principles simply doesn't exist in the aviation industry (both pilots and management). Too many people enjoy the smell of fumes and forget the need for a 20% return on invested capital to survive and procreate.

So then

Just let Obama fix it then?

Yay!!! By the way, the diminution of NJA's fleet is a function of the terrible economy, not Berkshire's happiness with the company. Also, the Hawker 4000 is an intriguing plane, which had fallen off my radar screen! Herman Cain, come on down and accept the Presidency! This Tea Partyer (partier?) has spoken.

 

[gunfyter]

I am just trying to keep hope (and Cain) alive ... :laugh: Too many negative vibes here sometimes.

 

[KiddDynomite]

Cain's a shill! Come on he's a former head of a Federal Reserve Branch! Great! Just what we need!

A man who understands the monetary system. I am good with that.

Too bad Huntsman only has 1% in the recent polls - he is the best qualified candidate yet (despite his Mormon "baggage" that he shares with Romney). Huntsman has a successful record as Gov of Utah (balanced budget, job growth, low taxes, etc.), he was a successful businessman (father's business - but still he understands business), he speaks Mandarin (he was Ambassador to our largest creditor and he UNDERSTANDS them and what they can do) and he simply looks and acts presidential. He commands respect. He is natural charisma and leadership skills - UNLIKE OBAMA. Have you noticed how Huntsman does not sweat any interview questions - he listens, considers his answer and then articulates it clearly.
He is very unique in the field and he doesn't sound like a "typical" politician.

Too bad he is soooooo far behind in the polls. Perhaps he could be a good VP candidate but not if Romney wins the nomination - too many Mormon jokes if that is the case...

 

[BentOver]

you guys know so much I'm suprised you all aren't running the country..

 

[gunfyter]

We'd be better off. :laugh:

 

[Sky Captain]

As a registered voter, they DO run the country! :blush:

 

[G4dude]

We are OBVIOUSLY the smartest people in this (chat)room!

 

[G4dude]

To paraphrase Bill Buckley, "I would rather be governed by the first 100 names in the phone book than by the Harvard faculty."

Keep telling yourself that

I have instructed my wife to repeat it repeatedly and repetitiously, to great effect.
