I realize I goofed on references to Rolls/Pratt, reversing them, but I still can’t make sense of it,
they had a JV via IAE, decided to end it, then decided to restart a new JV but now that is barred by regulators?
Is the current market without any Rolls participation in this sector considered insufficiently competitive?
In widebodies, Engine Alliance seems accepted, and now GE swallowed Avio with expertise in gears, so what’s the problem here?
Would other existing or historical JVs not be approved under the current regulatory climate?
