Just possibly, Cessna promised a lifetime run as part of getting Nordam to absorb development costs.. If a business partner willingly makes a long term commitment and then decides to change their mind, walks away and costs you a lot of money, that’s why we have courts and judges and laws of contracting.. The alternative (no contract is worth the paper it’s printed on..) is actually and in fact the true socialist model in places like Asia and the Third World….

This is still America. We are still a market economy. Compete or get left behind. And stop whining and running to a judge when you loose fair and square.
