Jet Jockey, there's a process. I don't know if I am surprised at the outcome or not, but I do recall being puzzled at why Boeing tried to shoot a silver bullet on that one. If you look at the defense sector, Boeing has been in a variety of bad odor for (for example) a tanker project that keeps slipping .... I guess they figured "can't hurt to try." *scratches head*
But here on PPRuNe, particularly on R&N, we get a lot of hand wringing and rubbish.
