Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

Not really a "joke" per se, but the Bloomberg headline made me laugh.
On the bright side, I'm pretty sure they'll "hire" you into indentured pilotude with less than 1500h!

It's certainly a good setup for some jokes.. Maybe bad jokes, but this isn't my day job.

1 - Do they fly 737's?
2 - I'd bet $5 that their airport security is as effective as, and less annoying than, the TSA.
3 - Does their fearless leader fly the planes?
 
and yet, someone will try the "what is the lowest you will go" line. :-/

When people do that to me, I say, "I can't sell it AND buy it...what do want to give for it?".
 
Years ago I went to purchase a used motorcycle. When I asked the man what he had to have for it he stood on the sale price. The bike was worth what he was asking and that's what I gave for it.

A discount might be available if you ask ... politely. ;)
 
Some people just can't haggle. Years ago I bought a beat up Fiat Spider sort of on a whim. Seller was asking $900. I asked him how low he could go, he said $500. Told him I had $400 cash on me and drove the car home. Another time I was selling a Jeep. Guy came to look at it, asked how low I could go. I said, "well the ad was for $XXXX." (I forget the exact number, I had listed it a bit on the high side expecting to bargain). He pulled out that amount and handed it to me.
 
Sometimes is not a matter of can’t haggle, sometimes it’s a matter of not wanting to have the “fun” of haggling

Years ago I rebuilt a small grand piano and set a fair price. If I wanted to haggle, I would have set the price higher and let the buyer haggle me down to a price higher than the fair price I set

Seems most people assume (yeah I know) that the asking price isn't the sale price. I'm of the persuasion that most sellers do ask a bit higher than expected. Most anyone will give a 10% cut in the asking price.

I don't insult people with "low-ball" offers. Being polite and respectfull during a negotiation can have rewards. After all most buyers know what they are willing to pay and the seller knows what they will take. It's just a matter of finding where they can agree ...

They should outlaw pronouns! You never know who they’re talking about!
