Nebraska rejects Great Lake's EAS bids

It's odd, I started on Super Hornet during EMD phase at McDonnell-Douglas, came back to it during LRIP in retrofit engineering, here I am 18 years later supporting it from a major supplier. Can't get away from the damn thing. The JSF fiasco and extended G purchases have been a blessing so far, but I see the end of the tunnel with FY15 numbers, or lack there of. 24 years in defense aviation, I need to move to the commercial side soon......

Lol. You poor defense guys. Such an anemic funding but it drips for decades when any other private business would have folded or gone a different way.

Feds man, sometimes I love them sometimes I hate them. You ever get to witness the EMI discharge test on warheads? Not the esd gun, though that's fun, but we fire off a couple meg strike to observe any observable radient effects? The test has proven to be bunk, its complete crap, but it's cheaper for every project to pay the extra 5k or so to do the test than the 100k to change the cert criteria (convince the feds first of course). That adds to cost every time, and theres no changing it because people give up dealing with the government when they are stupid.

Yeah.... Being from NE it's incredibly hard to imagine even seeing a CRJ 200 filling up in those cities to Denver or wherever. Grand island would be the only one but is already serviced by American eagle or envoy or whatever the hell it is and allegiant twice a week. But perhaps I'm wrong
 
Oh...so...your issue isn't with saying See ya, then?

Perhaps be more descriptive in what your real beef is with whomever is doing it might assist those of us in understanding the conflict.

Saying stupid crap on the radio because "we're the company that does that" isn't.

I admit, I'm not the biggest fan of it. But the controllers seem to like it, and I really don't care that much. Glad they're having fun, Lakes was never an option for me, otherwise maybe I'd be saying it too.
