Looks like same old, same old to me.
Its ok saying they are well on the way to covering overheads until ist display flight in June but they have to cover the 85K up front to get marshalls back don't they?
Or are Marshalls going to let them off that as well?
Surely it would be better to focus on the funds for test flying first and foremost and reduce the overheads drastically by laying off all staff temporarily and only paying those that really have to be there every day.
Reckon people would have been sat around doing not alot recently especially with the authority to work on the aircraft having been withdrawn until recently. To me that adds up to alot of wasted time and money.
Don't get me wrong, i have eaten,drunk and slept this aircraft and first flight was one of the most emotional experiences of my life but there is nothing in the update that gives me confidence.
