Talk about a corporation being out of touch with aviation! They could

I wouldn't call setting up shop less than a mile from Boeing's corporate
headquarters being "out of touch with aviation".

What in the world does Boeing have to do with it? It's about the dumbest
location possible for pilot seminars.

If Garmin stopped GA support tomorrow, what impact would it have on
their bottom line?

Probably not much.

But then, our refusing to return to Chicago -- for ANY reason, until
Daley is dead -- will accomplish even less.

Still, sometimes you gotta fight with the only weapons at hand.

Well, *I* haven't lost anything in Chicago, so it's not like I'll be
wanting to go there... The one good thing that can be said about Chicago
is, "Well, it's not New York" -- slight praise, at best...

Jay,

I sure wouldn't characterize a quarter *billion* dollars annually as "not
much" (about 15% total revenue).
