How does competition appear?how would competition appear - clearly it can't or it would at least be really behind in the game, if not for development and design purposes but with respect to the patents and certifications.
is it reasonable to think that any competition is at least 3-4 years away - making ama a takeover target either from an existing airplane manufacturer or technology company?
if i'm sitting in the big chair at airbus - do i want my clients that by my airplanes or my competitors clients going to ama to save hundred of thousands of dollars on fuel management - or do i want sole rights to that technology giving myself a leg up on my competitors?
where is sna in all of this - have they finally died?
