It does seem that there's an awful lot of used airplanes on the market
now. Anybody know how to find out statistics on this?


I have no answer for size of used market, but this web site has links to
trends in the size of new aircraft market:


http://www.gama.aero/home.php


It says shipments of new piston aircraft are down nearly 8%. Somewat ominous
in light of the fact that the last time the stock markets were this hot,
airplanes were selling like hotcakes.

The stock market is hot because companies are in cost cutting mode,
laying off americans and sending jobs overseas. At the same time,
they have succeeded in keeping salaries flat while inflation marches
on... Its great for short-term investors but hell for the middle
class.

Dell just posted unexpectedly high profits and announced a layoff of 8000
people at the same time.

It's one of the defects in the current capitalist system. Anonymous ownership
of large corporations is a bad thing.


You really are such an idiot. Enjoy Sarco. I am, so far.
