David_H Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Mooney's brand name took a severe beating over the past few months. That tweet almost read like a drunk text. Edited January 16, 2020 by David_H 3 Quote

steingar Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 They can tweet whatever they want, they're done.  Their workers aren't going to be dumb enough to come back unless they've no other prospects, and are those the folks you want assembling aircraft? And even if the workers do come back who's going to buy an airplane from Mooney? 1 1 Quote

Spirit just laid off 3000 in KICT. Textron just laid off their composite staff after the plant blew up. Things are not real great in aircraft assembly right now. Airbus is hiring in KMOB, that is about it.   1 1 Quote
Browncbr1 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 That is typical Chinese business talk .. Â I heard that exact phrase a million times throughout China... Â Â Quote

Yetti Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 After spending at least 20 hours pulling the com harness and the lighting dimmer harness out of the overall wiring harness.  I could totally save them a couple of thousand dollars on over engineered wiring harnesses.  The Dimmer board which is located on top of the front wheel well was a marvel of 70s technology with cool plug in 5 amp fuses - 3 of them.  There were feet and feet of 6 wire bundles to handle the 3 dimmer circuits. But none of it worked and the panel lights were dark.  It was all replaced with a couple of wires and redoing the resistor /switches in place.  Of course the powerload requirements for a modern panel are much less than running all those incandescent bulbs back then.  Life is happy glare shield light work again. 2 Quote

Enough money might make assembling a good sales team possible. It would be extremely difficult to recruit and assemble a good engineering team at this point. Quote
