Crab, no just saying it as it is. I like the guy and what he stands for. Lets be fair the normal OEM's wave 2 fingers at us as customers on pricing, supply etc etc. To mention a couple of other examples of the big boys being too big for their own boots lets think of Boeing 737 max and Sikorsky S92 gearbox's. I guess he is trying to do a Frank Robinson on the helicopter world but coming from an even better position than Frank was. Dont get me wrong i am not a fan of the Robinson product but it changed the helicopter world.
He is only bringing modern sensible practices to a world that quite frankly is in the dark ages when it comes to manufacturing. I remember very well taking a tour at Westland's and asking a fitter about cable tying a wiring loom in an EH101, over the space of half a day it had taken one guy to cable tie 2 m of loom to a frame !!!!!
