I’m a UTC stockholder, and would like to have seen the Boeing proposal win so Pratt and Whitney would have gotten the engine contract. My preference aside, I haven’t heard an argument why the Northrop Grumman/EADS proposal should not be accepted.

It appears that the more capable plane won. Unless the Air Force mission actually requires more, smaller capacity tankers, there is no compelling reason for the Boeing proposal to be accepted.
