Really? You say that and yet they keep their facilities in Chicago and Washington state.

And the Northrup/EADS tanker is the better tanker. That’s why they won the first tanker competition. The plane is only not being built right now because Boeing whined and padded the pockets off enough Congress people that they listened. I don’t doubt that Boeing will get the contract. The President is from Chicago and McCain’s daughter-in-law lives in this area. It would still be nice if there would be a fair competition again like the one that Northrup won last time.

That's the point, GAO found it wasn't fair, that the Air Force did not abide by its rating standards.
