Of they could have just died as the original RB211 wasn't particularly great anyway..

They're competitive. Trent was selected for the latest models by both Boeing and Airbus.

You dont like it because it does'nt pander to the left wing entitlement mentality so you then try to argue that it - Rolls Royce - is actually a public sector institution.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by Robinho View PostExactly, profits are increased, that means the thing that was cut was hindering total profits and thus, was unprofitable. If the thing that was cut was profitable, then profits would decrease when it was cut.
It's pretty basic maths.Comment

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostI see you have tactictly moved the debate to imply that Rolls Royce is a state enterprise.

This is because the nature of their support is always positive - promoting positive values in sport the arts and education.

Where did I say Rolls is a state enterprise?
My point is that free markets don't necessarily provide the best outcome.
The Rolls Royce jet engine business would most likely not exist if not for government intervention.
Its also worth considering that many life changing inventions and enterprises: penicillin, the internet, Space exploration, the atomic bomb, to name a few, were created under the aegis of the public sector.
It seems you and Robbie are in hot competition for Village Idiot of the Day.Hard Brexit now!

Given that latter fact it is actually in a curiously strong position.Comment
