Maybe and maybe not. People who respect the process and actually are looking for more than just the quick run through. There are people like that. Usually higher classes of airframes coincide with this, as their general budget offers more. I charge $500/person when giving annual insurance training in a few aircraft that fall into this group, never had anyone even hesitate at the price.(which means I might need to up the rate )

Spare me your superiority complex.

Thanks to everyone else for not being a ****.

Oh, so I'm a **** because I pointed out you're using terminology that was made obsolete in the nineties? No, it's not just semantics like engine or powerplant -- they are both current, valid terms. BFR is not.

How can I trust you, why should I pay you, to get me current on the regs when it's obvious you're not current yourself?!?

Good luck, Orville. Your students must love the refresher on wing warping.

No, you're a **** for coming across as a ****.

What would have been wrong with saying "hey man, check your 6 on your terminology, real quick. I know people still use BFR, but is actually called FR, and has been for some time now" Instead of coming across like a spoiled jerk with a Napoleon complex on the internet behind a keyboard? I would have received a more professional response from SkyHigh.

Answer: Nothing.

So, thanks for the information despite being snide. Noted.

this is obviously the only thing that matters when figuring how much to charge for a bfr instead of just charging your normal rate and being done with it. lets ask everyones opinion rather than use logic and not start the thread to begin with.

So, basically, you agree I was correct, but you got your feelings hurt because your were corrected.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, Orville.

Have fun teaching.

Well, I'll be, I guess I need to adjust my BFR rates since you have convinced me that $500 is not a lot of money.
