Alex,
Commodore doesn't exist…so it can't very well keep paying the
engineers. As to a buyout company putting up the money to keep the engineers
on the payroll….the reason they don't do that is manyfold:
1. The continual delays.
2. Which buyout company should pay?
3. CEI was talking 100 engineers…I don't know their salary, but let's
put it in the $50/yr category just for numbers. That's about $1,000 per week
per engineer. Times 100, means $100,000 per week just to keep them on the
payroll. Not real smart considering the buyout has taken over 6 months now…or
would have translated into $1.3 million dollars to keep those engineers
around….and not knowing who was going to be the winner.
4. Etc.
Don
p.s. I agree though…as time goes by, it gets harder and harder to put the
pieces back together.
