Cessna Launches Campaign to Counter Business Aircraft Misinformation

CESSNA: A Textron Company

WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 11, 2009 - Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced a new initiative to address misinformation on the business use of general aviation aircraft and to provide a more accurate picture of the value of business aircraft as a resource that makes companies more competitive.

“We think it’s time the other side of the story be told, and that support be given to those businesses with the good judgment and courage to use business aviation to not only help their businesses survive the current financial crisis, but more quickly forge a path toward an economic upturn,” said Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack J. Pelton.

“Today, we are demanding business leaders and managers work at their absolute peak to turn their companies, and our economy, around,” Pelton said...

It is amazing to me that these CEO's get up there in front of these "Representatives"(I only call them that in the technical sense of the term as they really don't "represent" hardly anyone) and don't have the male anatomy to stand up to these losers! It's time that they grew a pair and stopped being pushed around.

The "Representatives" questioning these men couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. They are some of the most incompetent and inept people going. It is the likes of these people that have gotten us into the trouble we are currently experiencing. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, and several others(all Democrats by the way) are the ones responsible for not allowing proper oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac! The push, started by Jimmy Carter and expanded by Bill Clinton, to force banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford to pay them back and the backing of them by Fannie and Freddy is what got us into this situation. It is these people, NOT the CEO's that need to be facing inquiries right now! Yes, there are some bad CEO's(most all of them from the Baby-Boom generation), but in general and over all they are good at what they do.

It's also galling that these "Representatives" CLAIM to be fighting for the "little guy." Who builds these jets? Who services them? Who pilots them? That would be "THE LITTLE GUY!" The very person the Dems are supposed to be "fighting for." If that's the case then how come they continually impose new restrictions on or bad mouth industries such as this one, the RV industry and the domestic auto industry? Who gets hurt when these things happen? That would be "THE LITTLE GUY!" I think it's time "the little guy" woke up and stopped voting for these turds!
