Congress sold American workers out for one dinky plant in Alabama-Sessions is a ....I can’t say it. This is a real slap in the face. Of course, a Republican the Alabama Senator was on Lou Dobbs defending this awful decision.
When you are done hyperventilating, get a grip and think about this...
The EADS offering carries 2-3 times the fuel that the Boeing offering does,
It has both Air Force and Navy style refueling systems,
Boeing has a history of unethical behavior on the original Tanker Proposal...They should have been debarred and not even allowed to bid on this contract!
I work for a defense contractor and we are required to undergo ethics training every year and what Boeing got nailed for is an obvious no-no! American workers (Boeing and their subcontractors) are the victims of Boeing's unethical behavior.
The Warfighters need this new tanker and the damned politicians should just get the hell out of the way and let NG/EADS deliver! Boeing reflected the behavior of Congress, unethical and sleazy! We have gotten the government we deserved...we elected them.
