MHP Costs

Cdnnighthawk,

In your earlier post you referred to "unplanned" NRE costs, whereas this last post refers to capitalized contract development costs. When you wrote "unplanned", I took your meaning to be just that, i.e., an overrun above planned ( and capitalized ) development costs.

If I am interpreting your last post correctly, you take the position that all of the capitalized development costs referred to in the submit tall are unplanned ( an overrun ). All I posit is that if that were true, my expectation would be some immediate and decisive executive action, and to recover that egregious an overrun on 28 machines would be looking at the world in rather rose colored glasses. As I said, though, "Never say never in aviation " and it's hard looking at that program from the outside to know all of the details.

Thanks,
John Dixson
