.....maybe so but the COPA forum is a FAR, FAR cry from the BeechTalk forum.

No matter what airplane I'm flying in a year or ten years from now, I don't think I will ever leave this forum. There is no other I've found which even comes close to the content, experience, usefulness and value of BT.

What the Jeffs didn't tell you when you joined is that they limit the number of posts for BT members that don't own a Beechcraft. You're almost to that limit now. You'll either need to create a new account with a fake name, or...

David,

If the Jeff's let me stay you know the standards are really low and anyone can get in and stay in...

Is that something like "I wouldn't belong to a club that would have me as a member"?

If I were the CEO of Cirrus, I'd print this thread out in its entirety. I'd call a meeting of my design/marketing staff. Place a copy of this thread with a $1000 bonus check attached in front of each person and then tell them to keep up the good work.

It would be a short meeting.

Maybe they should give the entire staff a "golden parachute"? :duck:

Cirrus is in a better position than any sports team having the play book of their opponent.

Not only do they have the play book, they have fans telling them what plays work best.

The only thing Cirrus is lacking right now is an opposing team.

I think what made the difference is they didn't rest when they got technologically ahead. The "X" option fixed one of my biggest complaints. When they only offered white with a ribbon stripe, there was no individuality, the ramp was full of carbon copies.

Individualizing a Cirrus became an critical ingredient, and they significantly raised expectations for their interiors and exteriors. They have added some real sizzle to their product, and it's well implemented.

A new Cirrus is priced like buying a Ferrari times 2 or 3. They need to look like one and some of them actually do.

Prior to JC's post about the Honda Jet, I thought his old avatar picture was actually a picture of himself.

The other manufacturers like to use the FAA as an excuse for their lack of innovation.

The other manufacturer's (Beech) (Piper) did not have the money. I don't know about Cessna.
Having the means allows for the innovation to flow.

Maybe now with Beech re-structured good things can happen.

Remember, just recently Cirrus was on life support, until the Chinese came to the rescue.

Yeah I've been meaning to bring that up. Was it lost on every body that he dated a Honda Jet model and now he is posing in front of a Honda Jet. Maybe moonlighting?

Cirrus is so far out in front.......
