I got that. My point was not about your basic argument. My point addressed the preamble of your argument, to wit: "ITS Called Program accounting". Program accounting has NOTHING to do with it.
Further, the decision to pursue the RFP is made at the division level, NOT the corporate level. The division must prove it can make a profit before the program is even launched. And the BAC division will almost certainly make quite a bit of profit. Just not as much as hoped and certainly not as soon as hoped.
