" Lockheed Martin doesn’t get paid their profit unless each and every airplane meets each station on time with the right quality.”"

'Doesnt get paid their profit'... What the hell kind of business practice is that?? I mean it wasn't that long ago that when a vendor produced and sold something it was at some sort of an agreed price and he either made or lost money depending on how good a job he'd done.....
