Priorities and Engineering Bandwidth

While l wish the Raider team success in achieving their goals, I don't see Lockheed's priority stacking placing them anywhere near the top.

Whenever an accident like this occurs it raises the question "What else have we missed?"
This introspection leads to a deep dive into system design and integration lab regression tests.

If the Raider was Sikorsky's only development program, it would be all hands on deck to get ship two back into flight test. But with getting the CH-53K production ready, the Defiant back on schedule for achieving first flight, and bill paying production programs like the Presidential Helicopter and Blackhawk, where is the Raider program going to find the resources it needs?
