ORAC quotes:
"The next stage is the financial competition, in which banks submit proposals under public-private partnership rules to fund acquisition of the A330s."
Hmm..."financial competition" eh? One wonders how long that will take, said Grandfather.
I thought having a sound financial solution was part of the compliancy checks that were pre-requisite to passing the Down-select Stage. What is the DPA (or whatever it's called now) playing at in allowing three years to pass with no further guarantee that the financial solution will actually fit the bill? Where's the sound financial footing that was necessary for a just Downselect?
Hmmm
