At a previous company we would teach our managers to be hands-off with the engineering department; especially with the new products section.
The expression was: "let them do their work and keep sliding money below the door"
We all know he is bitting more than he can chew
We all know (me included) that the vertical integration has been pushed too far
We all know that the schedule will slip big time, and sizable chalenges are yet to come.
if after all that, you as a stakeholder, if you still think that there is a chance for your aircraft to come out,
then best you can do is reduce the pressure on the reporting effort.
I am not a stakeholder and hardly a believer but enjoy seeing the effort unfold, for good or bad.
