Sikorsky appears to be hiring in CT, TX, and WPB, so perhaps they're willing to do all of the above. At this point, what's required to regression check and complete the second Raider aircraft is fairly small potatoes, assuming all the big ticket items were already manufactured and paid for before assembly was halted.

Guess we'll see.
