To Everyone,

Where are our businessman heads?

Raises are really great. Why not give everyone a raise? I haven't heard 
where the money is coming from. Who are we going to recommend to take 
the pay cuts? I haven't talked to anyone at Lancair that wasn't a help 
to me. Someone has to make up for the raises. How much extra will the 
company produce if everyone gets raises? Not enough! Giving everyone a 
raise is not the way to run a company.

If on the other hand, an on-line documentation system were installed, 
more planes may not be sold but at least the documents could be sold 
and a subscription charged to keep up to date. Even non builders could 
buy the plans at a higher price, some of which could be applied to the 
aircraft purchase. Try giving our new owner ideas like this. Not that 
this one is the best but it at least starts to show how it is being 
paid for.

An on-line ordering system is another good idea but will cost a decent 
amount of money. Maybe more part sales and less(future) labor could pay 
for this.

So guys, lets give Mr. Bartels, our new owner, and ourselves a break. 
Lets not shoot ourselves in the foot testing our new gun. Joseph will 
need a while to see how the company is currently running and what he 
can do to improve it. Lets give him some ideas that will make the whole 
company and not just a few people better off.

Sincerely,
Lorn H. Olsen

PS. I think that Vern should get a raise too.
