Cessna profits plunge......OT (or is it?)

You mean they don't have positions like the other folks?

I don't understand why they would do this to someone.

It may be that I am just mad at Cessna because they keep promising stuff
that they don't deliver. We have a customer who ordered a 182 with the
G1000
Nav III package back in November. Cessna promised him May delivery. Now
they
are saying that their entire production line has been sold out, but maybe
they can get him a plane in December. They do this time and again,
constantly. They toyed with the idea of doing a second production run this
year, but instead they laid off all the workers. Smart, real smart.
