Bill, I am not an airline pilot yet, but if you look at the grob website in the news section it has a few artciles about how the spn has been displayed in static display at a few airshows so far (I am not sure what that means). It also has an article about how they plan on opening up a flight school for the spn in 2010 (again I do not know what that means). It has also been doing some flight tests, but I am not sure if they have to complete the JAA cert and then the FAA or if they can do it at one time. But from just following some airplanes during the certification process I would be surprised if they deliver on time. And as far as I know the amount of aircraft entering the planesense line at one time in the beginning would probably not have that much effect on the overall company. If you don't like flying single engine planesense is probably not the company for you. Obvioulsy with the market right now people would be lucky to get a job with them. It definitely kind of makes you jealous of those people that were able to get on with 500hrs a few months ago. But I guess that is part of the industry.
