"If Congress were to include the aviation sector in its economic stimulus packages, more than 40,000 high-paying jobs would be created, aviation safety would be improved, and there would be positive effects for the environment, according to a coalition of aviation organizations."

I agree -- I could use a 530W to take advantage of all those new WAAS approaches being designed! A new autopilot would be nice, too.

Not very likely.
Remember, Congress thinks airplanes are "rich boy" toys.

Perhaps they should make the auto companies buy corporate jets as a conditition to get the loans they want...
