Re: Revell U-Boat

I see what you are saying, and I wholeheartedly agree that to keep
going they need to make a profit. No argument there.  The point I am
making, eloquently put by SamVanga, is that you need customer trust and
professionalism. A company with this track record shouldn't be making
cockups of this magnitued. It simply breeds distrust that we are being
screwed just because the opportunity presented itself. You yourself
said that the lead time is enormous, and fixing the target price point
is a very early part of that process, so I still do not entirely buy
the "Oooops, we got it wrong" scenario. Still ooks like opportunism to
me. 

As for your cheap jibe about profit "might be a dirty word in the UK",
let me say one thing to you....

ENRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I rest my case.
