RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Boeing Spirit not a easy dealThis is what I'm talking about. Thank you Heyou for your post. Finally some decent discussions.
Short Bros has been around from I believe 1928. Every piece of equipment needs to change there, or else it's labour intensive. So machanize it will cost. Btw we can't buy all of Shorts, Airbus has the CSeries half. If Spirit is willing to give us or pay us $250M to $300M for the other half, then we can use the cash to mechanize that half of the business? Then, it's possible we can bring the plant up to date. I would guess that we can't get rid of too many of those employees, because those unions will be up in arms. But the fact to the matter is that if we mechanize the plants or even modernize the buildings they split from the Airbus portfolio, then we may
NOT need all those employees.
If we can get rid of some of those unionized employees, then it could be cost effective to acquire. We'll see what transpires. It could work!!!! There is always ways to make things work if the desire is there. It has to to be thought through very well though. We can't have missteps now, or else we're going to hold our shares till 2050.
