Bell is trying to get abatements and grants for a new plant in Alliance (Ft. Worth), TX (and a few other places). They are promising "a multi-decade" run of production as part of the justification in Texas.It might not be impossible that that they decide to take what they learn at the MTC and apply it directly themselves at a new plant. The only way to promise "multi-decade" production is if it includes at least some product or assembly for FLRAA. Don't see why it would exclude the possibility of fuselages as part of the plan. I'd give it at least an outside chance.Much has been made of the fact the news leaked about trying to reacquire the production from Spirit after Boeing re-acquired them. But it also lines up fairly well with their applications for more manufacturing locations. Might have little to do with Boeing, and like Boeing itself decided, more to do with bringing more manufacturing directly under their (Bell-Textron's) own umbrella and close to home in Texas.
