Bill,sounds like a good plan for the air force. They are "probably" counting on Hawker to go belly-up way before 2013. If thats the case,then there is no competition,thus cutting thru all the red tape.Hence, Embraer wins by default.. Then Boeing buys Hawker for pennies on the dollar....There will be major consolidation in this industry,just like the banks,where the few become stronger. The politicians will lose at their own game.They want the air force to review the bids again? Well,the air foce can take their sweet time doing it,to make sure all of their ducks are in a row,knowing that Hawker probably wont be able to sustain the time frame.... Just my thouhts on the situation.....
