Not only that but paying for all those new engines and heavy checks thereby financially committing to those obsolete, high cost, inefficient, uneconomical, umcomfortable and competitively despised POS's for a very long time. Empty threat, and we fell for it.
C12 had some good things and some bad things WRT scope in it. Much of the good would have happened anyway. The biggest unknown was the large turboprop issue. Its nice to lock down that variable though. It really is. But there was absolutely no way the company was going to marry all those 50 seaters.
