The problem is that engineers that care have no voice at a company that only cares about share prices and share holders.
You also need to ask the question why the 1st and only MRA4 aircraft was delivered in March 2010 and we still weren't flying it in October 2010? Why did it not fly at Farnborough or Fairford - even with a company crew in one of the company jets? Trouble at t'mill lad, I suspect?
I do think the tax-payer deserves a full and open review on this £3Bn+ fiasco to find out just who was at fault for wasting so much money - even if it costs £0.5M to complete, we must ensure that it never happens again (at least for a very long time).
