A principal at a private equity firm that works with aerospace/industrial companies got back to me after I reached out and wants to set up a call.

I’ve been doing some research before the call, and I’ve seen people debate whether private equity is actually a good fit for aerospace. One thing I keep seeing is that PE firms can bring a lot of money to these companies, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the experience, people, or platform to actually improve the business. I’ve also seen people talk about the cycle of firms buying aerospace companies, building them up, and then selling them to another PE firm.

I’m trying to understand this better before the call. What are some genuinely good questions I could ask him about this? I don’t want the basic questions. I want questions that show I actually did some research and am interested in how the industry really works.
