I think the lady reads Pprune.
The MD press conference today was presented by a calm measured and sensibly dressed lady of a certain age.
She - it seems - is convinced MD has turned the corner. She believes she has the [Saudi Arabian] Boeing Little Bird fuselage construction contract in the bag.
She is also convinced that she has a 50 aircraft order for 902s for HEMS work in the Middle East using a new local trustworthy contact.
Nothing substantial signed sealed and delivered but clearly Boeing let her say the Little Bird bit [and where else would the fuselages come from].
And just in case we were led to believe she is a totally reformed character she went off into a rant about the US Government buying US equipment [from her] tore Elfan off a strip for demurring but failed to take on board that her fuselages come from Mexico and Turkey, gear boxes from Japan......
Oh what the heck she seems happy.
And it may last!
