Cirrus Design has gone to a three-day work week (from four) in an effort to balance production against reduced demand. Company CEO Alan Klapmeier also told the Duluth News Tribune last week that the 2009 target for introduction of its SRS light sport model will be pushed back because of a slowdown in the LSA sector. Development of the Vision SJ50 personal jet will not be affected. "We're looking at the situation progressively, on a week-by-week basis," he said. Without an increase in demand, the three-day week will be in place at least until the end of the year, Klapmeier told the newspaper.
