It seems to me that most posts on this topic have less connection with the thread title than possibly any others on PPRuNe.
Time to shut it and start a more realistic thread?
After all, does even the most anti camp (whatever their motives) really believe the programme is going to be cancelled at this stage? The USAF have made it clear it is one of the three programmes they want to keep even if it means loosing all sorts of others and the USMC is the USMC once they have made up their mind (and they have never lost a procurement battle since 1970).
