I thought about Airshares for a while.  I still have it in the back of my 
brain.  But, at least for now, I decided to go the "club route" instead.  
I'm in a club which includes a 182 and a 182RG, as well as a couple of 
172s.

The down side, as compared to the Cirrus, is that none of these are a 
Cirrus.  That is one hell of a nice airplane.  I even deliberately avoided 
the open house Airshare had at CDW a little while ago, knowing what would 
occur if I went.

But, just to be mean to myself, what are they planning to charge for their 
-20s?
