I still don't accept UTC's (claimed) reason for selling off a fairly profitable division like Sikorsky.
I don't buy it either. UTC CEO Gregory Hayes said the "separation of Sikorsky from the portfolio will allow both United Technologies and Sikorsky to better focus on their core businesses." United Technologies Corporation used to be United Aircraft Corporation. Sikorsky Aircraft sounds like a core business to me...much more so than an elevator company or an air conditioner company.
