There are ways to spread the investment (not cost) of training over time and still have some revenue during training. As a manager, you certainly know how you can have one developer at a time invest time learning new tools between phases of a project. Perhaps you can even convince your customers to share this investment with you. For example, one customer may agree to allow a project to slip by a couple of weeks without penalty, with the understanding that ROI will be on the next project in the form of several weeks gained on the schedule, and fewer bugs. In particular, the DO-178B certification process is greatly facilitated by use of Ada; surely customers are interested in expediting this process. Also, I am a bit worried by your statement. Does this imply that your company does no proactive research? In this case, how can you be innovative? And if you are not innovative, how can you survive in avionics? -- Ludovic Brenta. -- Use our news server 'news.foorum.com' from anywhere. More details at: http://nnrpinfo.go.foorum.com/
