Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are disappointed and frustrated in the extreme to have to take this action. We had deferred these cost cutting measures as long as possible, while awaiting a positive response to our request for a federal government loan. At this time we are still awaiting a formal response We are hopeful that the government will give this matter urgent attention and provide the requested assistance, following which we would immediately recall our furloughed employees and get our program back on track. We will be contacting our D-JET customers individually to further detail the impact of these actions and our plans for the way forward."
