Only today’s post since Dec 31...I wonder who runs their social media. 

They've been sharing stories mostly..not necessarily posting new pictures.

Mooney's brand name took a severe beating over the past few months.

That tweet almost read like a drunk text. :(

Yeah, next thing you know they will be posting "topless" photos, AKA Mooneys with the top cowl off!

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?

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.

Couldn't resist responding to their tweet requesting further details on what makes the sky so rosy at the moment.

The sun setting on polluted air.

Different from the other 10 times in the past when they also closed down?

FWIW, I’m told the deal is back on... Don’t know more.

Hopefully it goes through they hire a legit engineering team and do what would almost certainly make them profitable - a good M10 with a good sales team.

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.

Youll see more CAN bus in modern planes.

Which is fine.   While I was pulling out the wires, I was considering if the the wiring loom guy and the Engineer did not have a deal to build in job security.

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.
