IMO I don’t think this board has the balls to outsource a frame that is not current with the industry trends. They want everything on the outside to seem normal but on the inside they can make some extra margin and add flexibility from the lack of testicular fortitude on the pilot scope front (89k). It’s nothing personal it’s just business. They know it’s a large risk placing an aircraft at a contractor in which is so outside of industry norms. Imagine if the business faced an incident or accident with that airframe operated at a d scale rates by the 3rd party. That is too much risk for the investors. This place is reactionary, conservative and a copy cat. Ever wonder why we always announce earnings AFTER everyone else?? If ANY major relaxes scope you can bet Air Group will follow suit.
