It could be many things and anything is possible, but just should mention for example that Horizon has discontinued the 90 size ShowTime which is a much loved plane. To me that's an indication that sales are hurting and they are being forced to downsize. So even if the plane is popular, they are having to stick with the smaller size ShowTimes which might be marginally more profitable.
They might not be in dire straights but consumers are adjusting their spending habits.
Yes, or it could be an indication that they're getting ready to release a new version of the 90 size. You could be right though and they simply see a shift in their growing or stable markets to a different demographic of consumer than is inclined to buy into the 90 size.
Could be just an executive decision. Also I think that most if not all of the developers have entirely different day jobs. I recall that Selig is prof of aeronautical engineering or something and has been involved in all sorts of projects. So that can complicate things. Who knows.
I suppose that sort of thing could complicate development but, when a client plunks down a wad of cash people tend to adjust their schedules pretty quickly.
Is it just me or should we just IM :-)
