The problem with the aviation industry is that it is a case of Monopolistic competition i.e. many firms competing for the same group of customers (GA).

Of course in the main stream, we have a duopoly (VB, Jet*), and , if a competitor comes along those two original companies cut their fares to perhaps below their average total costs.

So, the moral of the story is like Ultralights said, don't put your money into aviation because competition is fierce and a price war will send a new entrant out of business.

My late Father spent over 45 years (with service in WW2 in between) in the legal profession as a law clerk. He drummed it into me very thoroughly;
When you are presented with a legally binding document which you are requested/required to sign for any purpose whatsoever, you do NOT sign it until it has been checked by a lawyer!
'Nuff said!

Not a bad piece of advice, even though it does create an unreasonable amount of scare mongering in favour of the legal industry.

Having said that, if this is the case, why are people so keen to seek advice off an anonymous forum on the internet?

Point0five;
If this is the case why are so many etc
Quite a valid comment! Perhaps I should qualify my post by stating that when my dear late Father was employed in the legal profession and made this statement to me the legal profession was then highly regarded and indeed respected!
As in about 25 years ago; long before they became a money hungry/chasing mob!
