And there`s the key - the ``when``. At the time of RP`s statement to Sunpoop, EDIG had no other avenue to sell to airlines. So he was right, back then. Times have changed and new opportunities/avenues may be present (e.g., Panasonic). Heck, if you took the old statement literally, Wencor couldn`t sell digEs - only APS.
