Additionally, LockMart may have the FAA over a barrel - "Sure, I

Not necessarily. The FAA no doubt has penalty clauses in the contract.
They
can stop the money if L-M does not meet performance spec's.

you can bet Lockmart has an army of lawyers ready to pounce on the FAA
(of course, having more briefers would have eliminated the need for
the lawyers...)

And the FAA has legions of lawyers...a veritable endless stream of them.
