Admittedly I only scanned the article, but I'm sure I read that the DA42 deliveries were further delayed at present? Think I read it in Some business aviation freebie newspaper thing - forget the name now.
When I was looking for a commercial school at the end of 2003, I also spoke to an operation that expected to have a DA42 by March 04. I believe they're still waiting, so even if you fancy learning in one, you may need to wait a bit yet.
