Hosts discuss Trevor Milton’s plans in private aviation

The hosts discussed Trevor Milton’s new aviation venture. One noted that the company had been around for decades and questioned whether it should be called a startup. They also said Preston Holland, a friend of the show, had been able to attend the company’s event.

One host said Milton had been pardoned, no longer had a criminal record, and was free to pursue new projects. The host was nevertheless skeptical of a move into private aviation: in their view, discerning buyers could make it a poor business strategy.

Another participant suggested that concerns among buyers about Milton’s reputation could create an opportunity to buy an aircraft at a discount, invoking the principle “buy when others are fearful.” The host responded that this principle usually applies to investing, rather than choosing a machine that may affect a person’s time and life.
