"a former FAA official who worked for Raytheon at the time the contract was awarded. Raytheon won the contract, worth nearly $1 billion."

Imagine what that former federal employee is making now working for the contractor, before he probably got fired. This is going on all over--federal employees retiring and becoming overpaid contractors affiliated with the agency they retired from. But it's the federal salaries of people who stay with the gov't, trying to make it in the same region as these overpaid contractors, who are the problem and it's THEIR salaries and jobs that need to be cut, right? No one talks about the federal contractors who typically have more slots and are making much more almost across the board.

THe contractor gravy train is the exception. On the whole, the government worker is vastly overpaid compared to the average contractor working for that agency and doing all the work that the federal employees are no longer capable of doing.

Don’t confuse the federal worker who becomes a contractor making big bucks from his cronies in the agency he worked with the average contractor employee who is nowhere near as compensated as the federal worker, and who will lose his job at the completion of the task. The fed will live on forever.
