The unions would NEVER let that happen at Cessna and Piper with regards
to "outsourcing". Vans wasn't taking jobs from Americans who were
already working for them when they made the outsourcing decision, or if
they did, it wasn't nearly on the scale of what Cessna, Piper or Beech
would have to undertake.

And how many of us would be willing or able to shell out for a
quickbuild that was preassembled at the rate of $20-30 and hour?

Outside the realm of unions --

When dinosaurs were young....
and I was making $3 an hour, my employer was
charging customers $12 for my time and expertise.

On this basis, figure $80-120 an hour.

Is this unrealistic?
I think not, when Nike sells footwear for
hundreds of dollars a pair when the cost
of its foreign labor is under two dollars a pop.

Unions or not, USA blue collar workers are doomed.

Beg, borrow or steal a Yale and Harvard education.
Run for public office and become a multi-millionaire....
or marry one. g
