When I was there (around the time they were cranking out Millenium
Editions), it seemed to me that the factory was doing quite well hiring
people who lacked aircraft experience. The ramp was crammed with
airplanes awaiting repair that had just rolled out of the factory door.
I hear they've gotten better lately.

A moment ago you implied that quality sucked -- now you've reversed
yourself?

I don't see how I reversed myself. The obviously bad quality
resulted in a rampful of planes that needed repair before they could be
test flown. It was obvious to me that Cessna was indeed hiring people
who lacked aircraft experience.

Oh, I think I see. When I said they were doing quite well hiring
those people, I didn't mean they were doing a quality job. I meant
they weren't having a problem hiring inexperienced workers.
