Table stakes

Started with a Sikorsky briefing in which the VP admitted that as far as Sikorsky was concerned Schweizer is dead. The company felt that as Schweizer made every part of the 300 it was just too expensive to continue the production line. They claimed that each 300 cost twice as much to make as it brought in. RIP 300. They will continue to maintain the remaining 300s, he said, but we know what bull!!!! that is: these guys are about to join the Brantlys and Bell 47s in the graveyard. Bye bye Schweizer we loved you well but alas no more.
