I once listened to Dave Platt, CEO of Hewlett-Packard when they still made

His message was about change. "Normally, change happens only when the pain

those who dare to change sooner".

Think of the day when avgas will cost $10 a gallon as it already does in
Europe, and you still want to continue flying. The Europeans already prove
it's doable, so better start preparing now.

It might be doable for them, but it's doable for far fewer
people than it is here. We get Europeans coming to Canada to learn to
fly because it costs about a third as much as in Europe.
