i don't think the fact that the c27j sharing the same engine as the 130j is going to be enough to for it to win the contract. it certainly has it in its favour, but considering that no c130j has been announced or anything tendered to replace the current herc fleet. the military might surprise everyone and replace them with the a400. i think that is a long shot after airbus screwed pratt and whitney canada over by not choosing them, but still it is possible. as for the c27j's competetor the c295, its engines have something far better going for them, they are made in canada by pratt and whitney canada. if is was a betting man i would place money on the c295 for that reason alone.
