I certainly hope not, although doing so may give the prospects for the CFV being completed a helping hand! more fleet capacity means more FAA aircraft (in theory) and more aircrew recruited which is always a good thing, (again in theory.)
We know cuts across the board are inevitable and it looks like the three serivces are going to have to share that burden, it never ceases to amaze me how quick the political spectrum changes.
Each party is now trying to jump in front of the queue to
promise cuts! and accuse eachother of spending taxpayers money (how dare they)
