The best thing that could happen to GA is for half to two thirds of the single engine aircraft makers to stop production. Cirrus has won the battle. Mooney, Beech, Piper, Cessna, and all the other even smaller companies need to go out of business. Piper, Beech, and Cessna should then join forces with Cirrus to reduce the costs of the increased volume SR20 and 22 and begin the development of the Six Place Cirrus. The same needs to happen in the Single Engine Jet space. Honda, Cirrus, Embrear, and others should declare a winner and produce one. It would be safer and cheaper with everyone pulling together. The GA industry could then fix the other main issue to the falling pilot population by getting control of the insurance companies. The number one killer of GA.
