Seriously? Still doesn't make me any less sceptical about the "estimates". I really, really hope they're not too upset by the total cost of $12.4B for 72 jets with support and infrastructure. Perhaps it doesn't matter when 30 Australian companies stand to benefit from business.
I enjoyed the 2012 report you sent me a link to where they say they'd be getting 100 for $13.2B. Ooh, it's gone up, not down. Your link and DMO's latest report (Sep 15) seem to moving further from €85M not closer.
