Headset maker Lightspeed Aviation has partnered with aviation-focused financial services company Stratus Financial to provide student pilots with “a safer and more affordable start to their aviation journey.” The collaborative arrangement enables students to bundle financing the cost of a Lightspeed headset into their flight training expenses.
How does this become “more affordable”? They’re tacking on the cost of the most expensive headset out there onto their training expenses. Add in the financing and interest expenses, this does nothing to lower the cost.
This reminds me of something my daughter told me about their realtor few years ago. He had a “new” way to do mortgage loans. When I asked him about details it turns out to be an ARM loan. I told my daughter to find another realtor.
