HB should bring back the 1900. The US currently does not make a multi aimed at the commercial sector. The 350 cannot compare to the 1900. I believe there are areas like the middle east, India and asia that could benefit from such airplane. A midsized airplane that fits snugly between the Dash 8 and something like a Navajo. It was sad for me to hear that no US manufacturer would take up the challenge by Cape Air to make a 402 predecessor. That of course wen't to Italy. That needs to change.
American manufacturing has lost competitiveness over decades, HB needs to prove that they can deliver a product competitively. Looks to most of the world like they can't deliver product competitively so they move into producing a product that has a very limited market.

Shot your mouth off about our Commander & Chief, and got BITCH SLAPPED for it!
What sucks is you will still get your six (or seven) figure salary while the 3500 former (wishing we were still) RAS employees pay the price.
