Based on this and other threads it seems Williams puts your balls in a noose when you run their engines. What are the others like? How does Rolls-Royce treat their Citation X owners? How does Pratt treat Citation Excel owners?


No one likes a monopoly. I don’t have much experience with Rolls Royce but I’m sure they are jacking rates just as fast as Williams.

As far as dealing with Williams, they’re great. The issue is the program cost just keep going up and my impression is they’re going up faster than actual cost. So the question becomes will they self regulate? If not what outside force will regulate their pricing?

My guess is that they’re being aggressive with rate increases trying to catch back up and get ahead of inflation, but what happens when they get ahead and the increases have been tolerated?

I went to the grocery store yesterday and it was $547.37

We have no kids at home, we don’t buy junk food, there was no meat and very little that was organic (that’s a different grocery store) and I just kept thinking how do families survive.

The point is we’re all blessed to have the ability to pay, I just hope that Williams and others are aware of the fact that grocery stores have a better monopoly than they do, people have to eat. They don’t have to pay Williams.
