tottigol,

You sound like you are bitter! Don't buy any lottery tickets using that intuition you have, your bets are wrong, there is lots of business to keep Sikorsky people fully employed. The company announced it weeks ago, and no layoffs are planned. As I recall, only Yeovill has had layoffs.

If the "All American" team was such a facade, then why did the Navy announce the need to develop the new, improved EH-101 for the President, with new rotors, transmissions and engines, sending at least 1 Billion dollars to Europe.

You gloat in this forum while your tax dollars go to another country's pilots, engineers and scientists! All Bell gets to do is to bolt together the parts they design and make in Europe, and you smile!

Strange world, Bro, especially when they announce that there is no way they will let us sell in their countries.
