If UTC had Let Igor Go vis-a-vis Charles ( Kaman )

Dave, since this is entitled as a Pilots Forum, perhaps this one parameter may answer the question:

At present ( I checked this yesterday with a SA pilot who we hired out of Kaman ),
  • Kaman has one test pilot.
  • Sikorsky has 52, working at up to five locations and on 9-11 development projects in addition to the production and customer support activities.
Thanks,
John Dixson
