Just a simple observation on the C5 funding pay cuts. I understand Crowned opened a new facility to produce the C5 & also employed additional folks to run, build them & ship them & receive parts, probably added design engineers (w/ICE backgrounds) to develop them/test them etc etc, etc. And will continue to hire more as they expand the ICE line.
I don't work for Crown, but any one knows it takes more to build a forklift than eat steel wool & simply pass one.

I believe that R & D costs can be spread over several years (accounting wise) unless Obama took that away too!
