Default RIP Cessna...Skycatcher

Now here is a question I have. How come Cessna says that they can't
build the Skycatcher profitably in the USA and meet the price point
they set but yet AMD is able to build their ZODIAC in the states and
advertise an IFR variant for under 100k. It's not like the aircraft
are all that different. Both are made of aluminum and both have the
O-200. Cessna's logic just dosen't make much sense to me.


What Cessna probably means is that they cannot build the aircraft with
the profit margin they want in the U.S. To maximize profit they must
build abroad.



Wow you must have gone to bizness school or sumpin, eh?
