Default Cirrus... is it time for certification review?

they treat A-36 owners, most of the problems would go away - mostly by

fwiw, AirShares Elite's insurance company seems to be at least
trying... I believe the last time I checked (about 2 years ago) the
requirement for purchasing a share in an SR-22 was 350 hours TT, and
either pursuing or already in posession of an instrument rating. Seems
like a very good floor to me, considering the plane can reach upwards
of 180 kts cruising.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat... were it not for the money factor.
