Copy of a post I made on iHub agreeing with LongCA
Post# of 2306
"LongCA. I agree - all that matters right now is actual trading and watching out for official updates on the way forward for contracted out military air-to-air refueling - not only for the USN / USMC but also for the replacement of the element of the USAF legacy fleet that performs "probe and drogue" refueling for the USN / USMC using adaptors on the flying boom and or underwing refueling pods (depending on the tanker type).
In the mix going ahead - short, medium and long-term - the possibilities are:
- USN amends the existing contract to change the wording (possibly to get rid of whatever caused the 2 now dismissed protests from competition loser Omega).
- Run the competition again (which TMPS should win on technical merit).
- Give different contracts to both Omega and TMPS (there is more than enough work for both with the DoD tanker problems caused by the slippage of the KC-X, KC-Y and KC-Z programs as explained in my authoritative DD sticky).

- USAF starts to make use of "small company" contracted out military tankers as well where it is cost effective and operationally possible to do so - business model already proven by the $16.5 Billion Airtanker contract for the RAF for 27 years).
- USAF uses a major contractor (Airbus or Northrop / Grumman) with a large fleet of new and / or ex-military tankers bought or sub-contracted from small operators like TMPS to fill a significant part of the legacy tanker replacement program (making cost savings on parts of the previously planned KC-X, KC-Y and KC-Z programs).
The TMPS aircraft will get used eventually and the company has multiple other multi-year, multi-$M DoD contracts anyway."
