The inside stories about Eclipse are indeed dreadful but hey this is aviation.
I've been in business, mostly very successfully, for nearly 30 years. The practices that go on in aviation are just utterly unbelievable to me as a manufacturer of technical products, yet punters buy into the most dodgy promises, in their hundreds.
Eclipse hangs on a knife edge and has done so since nearly day 1. If they fail it will be just another of many failures. If they pull through, the man will be a hero. I would just hate to be a supplier to an outfit like that. It may actually, just possibly, be better to sell to B&Q.
Being an honest person is as much an advantage in an aviation business as being a triple Y chromosome knuckle dragging heterosexual male is in the New Labour Cabinet.
