Does the 'H' need replacing just yet?
My concern would be Ronnie over-extending himself integrating new types in the next 10 years:
- A330
- Super Hornet
- F35
- Wedgetail
- P8
plus moving the Bou's work around other platforms (including the 'H') unless a replacement is found in short order (which would be yet another new type coming in).
Replacing the 'H' would not of itself be a problem, but maybe there's a limit to how many big projects should be run simultaneously?
