Hemidriver,

I have had an affiliation with RCI since 2006 which included Airworld and recently Skymaster. Jorge Ragde, Sung Kim and Jason Somes are great guys to deal with.
While I do understand the loss of dealers and their feelings, I can relate to perhaps why the change needed to take place. I was a Skymaster dealer which did not produce enough sales to keep going. I can imagine that there were a few more as well...Maybe I am wrong as I am only speaking for myself. In these difficult times I believe changes needed to take place in order to maintain sales and service. I believe this was the best way to provide that service. If you are looking for a SM product, it should not matter where you purchase it from if you are receiving the same or better service. This service will be provided by RCI and BVM. It does not get better than that. Nothing is engraved in stone and we all make mistakes, that's how we learn. For those beating up on BV and calling him a Hippocrate makes no sense to me. Aren't we allowed to alter our views and thoughts to change as we hope to be the better? I made a comment once that I would not get involved in designing twin engine aircraft for my company. I got blasted by a competitor designer because I changed my mind. That's wrong of me? If we don't make some changes we might just end up one of the statistics. Just so you guys know I am not on the payroll for either party nor am I a rep at this time. However, give these guys a chance to shine before kicking their doors down. It's all for the better in the long run. (Just my personal thoughts) [sm=50_50.gif]
