Hi BBT,
From a regulatory perspective, the TC holder wears the hat for the program quality as a compliance matter to the regulation framework. The customer has choices, and can elect to make their determination of an acquisition based on the value of the product that is provided to them which is quality v pricing. The AN-2 can look attractive in it's own way. Is the product that is offered at present achieving a desirable acquisition to those that have choices?
