You would think that the avionics tech in question might install more
nav/coms in one week at OSH than they would in 6 months of sitting
around their shop.

Maybe yours sits around -- mine doesn't. He has all the business he can
handle.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I want something installed by a tech who
has
to go to Oshkosh to drum up business.

Hmmm...good point. I guess they really do have all the work they need.

Which points out another problem -- *why* is there a shortage of avionics
techs? The two shops near Iowa City are always backed up.

Of course, after spending a few hours under the panel of my (or any) plane,
I'd go running into the night -- so I guess I know the answer...
