I am not certain whether that remains the case or not.
Either way how hard can it be to find someone to kick it across the pond? Keeping it a secret benefits neither pilot group. Its in all our interests that we know what the other makes. It puts pressure on the cheaper ones to bring up their end of the cost side, and it pressures the more expensive ones to fight harder for better scope (not just JV but for everything).
