If it was an auto manufacturer, the big bad government would hold their feet
to the fire.

True, but the reality is that this is NOT a big auto manufacturer and there
are no "deep pockets" to pay for the necessary alterations. The worst situation
would be if a lawsuit forced the manufacturer out of business and 601XLs
everywhere become nothing but expensive lawn ornaments. Far better for the
owners to "pay the freight" so that the manufacturer can stay in business and
support the fleet so that the planes retain some value.

Even at its best, this situation will have a chilling effect on the whole
non-Cessna part of the LSA industry. Now everyone can see how the inevitable
industry "shakeout" of small LSA manufacturers can leave aircraft owners
stranded without support.
