"as with all development programmes, the risk that you take, and the risk that's very clear in the contract is that it takes a little bit longer than we say it's going to take"
"the first flight is scheduled for the end of this year"
Lol, as my son would say. Make s a mockery of all the other promises too really.
I had a PM from CRAN last October, before I figured out that he was Jason (funny that this poster has been VERY quiet since I called him out). He said " it might take a bit longer than they are aiming for...most things in the engineering business do"
If there is a flight before the end of 2023 I will eat my hat and my shoe. And if there is a flight before the end of 2024, I'll still eat my hat, but not my shoe.
As Agile says above, why does Jason feel the need to do EVERYTHING in the business? That's not healthy from a product or a financial perspective.
