Ten years ago the industry pundits were vilifying MD for trying to hold on to their commercial operation. They said that the domestic civilian rotorcraft market simply wasn't big enough for three players and MDHC Commercial was small potatoes with no hope for the future. Not even Bell or Sikorsky wanted it (Bell made a half-hearted bid, but breathed a deep sigh of relief when the Feds shot it down). Now we're ten years down the road and Boeing is being ridiculed for selling a low-value operation that they were once criticized for not selling sooner. The civilian market is very difficult to predict with any certainty more than a few years out and it doesn't take much to upset the best laid plans of the marketers. Problem is, MDHI's recent ownership/management has screwed the pooch even worse than Boeing did. |
