actually true bushy, I interviewed with Bendix once (make brakes for USA military and most commercial manf) and the business model was that they were paid for each landing - the more landings the brakes made / lasted the higher profits they made... _________________ I deny everything I lie about everything And everything I deny Is a lie!
