Huh?  Mr. Pardee seems to be saying:

	- Private pilots can't afford "transportation" aircraft, therefore
	- They quit flying, therefore
	- The remaining private pilots can live with used high-end planes.

Or, put more simply:

	- Inflated prices have driven down demand, therefore
	- There is no problem.

Does this mean high prices are good for industry and the buying public?
Please, Mr. Pardee, tell me if I'm misinterpreting what you said!
