That is where we are headed if they leave this company in the hands of Beechcraft legacy employees.

so beech does everything well but making good airplanes?
Laughable. Remember Cessna would have been bankrupt in 2008 without textron money from bell’s government contracts. Beech went under strictly because of the Hawker 4000 and Goldman Sachs requiring beech to pay back their own loan from purchasing. In so many ways Textron Aviation is so much better with beech. Before Cessna only spent money on engineering and everything else was 30 years behind. Beech spent money on everything else like technology computers systems HR marketing which is why they could still sell a plane made 60 years ago. Them merging helped each other.
Bell is doing ok. Textron might put Textron Aviation up for a buck or two plus all its debts
I can say Beech leadership was arrogant and inexperienced.
