That was $35 million more for the Airbus.

I may have under-reacted from your point of view, but I did understand what you were saying and the implications.

Thanks again for bringing that to my attention.

Doesn’t it seem our leaders are loyal to foreign concerns?

I would say it’s Political payoff. They got the Presidential Helicopter over some good competing airframes and then this. Their is no way Airbus is going to live up to the promises.

Heads need to roll over some of the decisions being made. I agree with your take on this.
