That was douchebag Russ Meyer's idea. Build an aircraft plant in the
middle of nowhere, then refuse to hire locals for lack of aircraft experience. He probably did it so he could spin off the recip line to a gullible foreign corporation-I recall Toyota being discussed. |

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? |
