Can we please be careful with this kind of speculation.
1: Most small manufacturers of discretionary big-ticket items requring financing are on life support. Others has failed outright. To not have a standby re-org plan in the closet would be irresponsible. While I certainly do not not know of any such planning at ACA, I hope they have at least studied the topic.
2: In ACA's type of business, with two-step distribution, one of the first things to be cut or eliminated ( after payroll is trimemd ot the bone) typically are holdbacks, or what amonts to special factory backed commision-like payments to dealers. Again, I don't know that ACA has done this, but I'd be shocked if they haven't, and that could account for rumor mongering among disgruntled dealers.
3: As to No. 1, I personally hope that ACA has given at least some thought to a re-org, in case things get any worse. A carefully crafted, structured re-org usually results in a stronger, nimbler, albeit smaller, entity.
I love my plane. I like the people at ACA. This is a tough time for any manufacturer, especially any manufacturer of a discretionary item like a plane, boat, RV, snowmobile, etc. Let's not make their plight tougher with unsubstantiated posts that, in the end, create nothing but anxiety in the supplier and customer base.
