Regine, I wasn't aware that the segment was a interview with Alan Levy CEO. The piece that was run this morning was, I believe, more effective. Levy failed to stress AMA support for their product as well as the profound impact for the flying public. 2 attacks a week on AA alone. Morning piece showed the unit, a laptop like device with a "Makita" type battery. Electrodes appeared to be in a plastic type membrane, like a whoppie cushion. How's that for technical?

Overall, not a bad piece. It was informative.

300 units to AA starting next year at $3,000 to $4,000 each. 300 will cover all over water and some cross-continental AA flights.

FAA considering making them manditory.

IPO should cover the immediate capital requirements. All of $50 MM still in bank.

Product is easily manufactured. No scaleup problems forseen.

Only competition appears to be older units, 15-25 lbs vs. 4 lbs. $7-10 thousand vs $3 to 3 1/2 thousand. Heavy maintence vs none. Steep learning curve vs. easily learned.

Analysts market projections of over 5000-6000 units 20+MM next year.

Just wish Mr. Levy was more dynamic. I know I'd be enthusiastic as hell.
