I don’t use LinkedIn since it turned into another Facebook. Which I don’t bother with either.
But it I seriously doubt the post was from a Bell employee. How would you ever validate the individual’s claim? Any real employee could lose their job posting any information about the V-280, regardless if it was good or bad.
My guess is the post is from an old V-22 Osprey naysayer who has problems accepting the aircraft’s success.
Besides, currently how could anyone claim which aircraft is better? The Defiant has barely flown, and the Raider hasn’t completed as much envelope as the Valor. Not much information to base claims of superiority on for either aircraft. Other than maturity of tilt rotor technology and lower risk of development.
Apparently he is a disgruntled ex-employee of Bell. So, he has an axe to grind.
I've never been on facebook but I joined LinkedIn when Sikorsky closed Schweizer and I had to decide where I was going next. I agree a lot of it is non-professional.
