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! -- DJ Molny ihnp4!wnuxb!djmolny
