Is it just me or does it really seem ludicrous to waste $5,000 going to California for a trade show when you could go to the Bahamas and enjoy a nice family vacation for 10 days at the same price?

fly spirit round trip for $127, united for $173

3 day pass for members $240

you can stay at a super 8 for $250 or a marriott for $550.

$100 a day for food and drink and uber

You could easily do this for under a $1,000

is it ludicrous to spend 50 thousand going to heli expo when you could buy a beach house in malibu for the same price?

instead of spending 40k going to heli expo, wouldn't you rather buy two greenlands for the same price?

The big question is why would anyone waste the time going to Heli Expo?  Have a job, not looking for one, don't need to hang around a bunch of company execs gulping their own Koolaid.

very few people there go because they want to, it's because they have to. It's work for almost everybody there. The "big question" is how is it possible you don't understand this.
