exactly, Airbus and Boeing are not in the business of taking out product suppliers, never have and never will. They are in hot competition with one another to sell the biggest number of their product. You also need the majority shareholder vote to allow any takeover. Which is the biggest carrot to look at, someone with a bid in the hope they just scored a bargain or a share price driven by a massive earnings I.e. airbus Boeing adopting the sensors on over 2000 new aircraft sales alone. Go figure pure scare tactics I would rather wait to see what follows.
