The glass is half full....

This cancellation provides resources for other opportunities.

It will result in additional blackhawk production.

It will result in substantial political pressure to select the S92 over the EH101.

It will open up opportunities to replace what by any measure is a old and underpowered scout program.

And, quite frankly, as long as there are individuals at Bell who want to compete in such an unctuous manner as Mr. "Sultan", Sikorsky and Boeing will continue to develop higher quality products with higher quality people.
