Well, if the payroll costs of 300 employees averaged $25/each,
Columbia will have saved $7,500 for a five-day layoff. I'm not sure
about the costs of laying them off and bringing them back to work, are
you?


The reduction in employee morale will cost far more than $7500 in lost
future productivity.


Like people in the aerospace industry aren't used to these things?

Aluckyguess,

Sounds like a good excuse to layoff 300 people. It doesnt take that many to
install the G1000. I would say columbia is in trouble.


Exactly my thought. Every other manufacturer can work around this, only
Columbia has to fire 300?

Larry,

and it is my understanding that
the price of SR22s is ~$300,000 each


Tell me where! Please!

The SR22 is much more expensive.

It would seem that you are correct:
