Lol, and the cornerstone of capitalism goes flying over Southbound's head.

Ever hear of supply and demand driven pricing?

Companies will keep putting prices up when demand is high to make hay whilst the weather is fine. If they rise too high and it puts customers off or if they have competition from another manufacturer they drop their prices. With Boeing's order books for Chinook's plump and no-one offering a serious alternative I can't see us getting a few cheap in quick time.

Yes there is a point when if orders drop below a minimum prices have to rise to off-set loss of profits but I don't think Boeing will have to worry about that from the Chinook line for a while.

Stick to talking bollocks about things you know nothing about Southbound, oh you are.
