Hello John,

I kinda like your plane hypo. Perhaps there are moral victories, if you are trying to get a disabled plane on the ground. As VFP folks attempt to get jobs in other (non-VFP areas), they will have VFP listed as a part of their skill-set.

If those who are hiring think VFP died 6 years ago, they might be quicker to dismiss a person's resume (showing recent VFP work) without a second thought.

Just something to consider...
