****ed off FAA controller on blog

DAMN!! http://themainbang.typepad.com/ This is John Carr at his best. A classic that will deserve a nice frame and maybe? a signed copy. This slice and dice of Bobba and the 1500 Stooges at FAA HQ(Berlin)is better than a master cook at Benihanas. I love the quote... An insightful look the the superior private sector performance: "When I worked at O'Hare we had a nickname we used to throw around....Lima Bravo. LB stood for "Loser Boy," and was used both affectionately and derisively if you can believe that. To the friends, it was meant to take the ego down a notch. To the morons, it was meant exactly as it is pronounced. LOSER. BOY. Which reminds me, did you see that Raytheon recently got the contract to provide all air traffic controller training nationwide? This is the same Raytheon that bent the FAA over the couch and raped them for hundreds of millions of dollars for the STARS system. Raytheon left the FAA with less in their pants than the 1998 NATCA Contract Team did. If you thought our boys did good, look at these numbers: Raytheon began promising the FAA a 940 million dollar project that would be deployed in 172 facilities by 1998. They ended up delivering a 1.4 BILLION dollar program that would be deployed in only 74 facilities, starting in 2002. Mmmmmm....tastes like chicken. Some things never change, including the Lima Bravos in the cheap Wal Mart suits. Take Charlie Keegan for instance, Raytheon's program manager for the newest FAA boondoggle on the block. Waaaait a minute. Is this the same Charlie that was interviewed by Raytheon just a few short years ago? Is this the same Charlie Keegan who was in charge of the FAA's Free Flight office, also known as "another collosal waste of time, effort and money?" Is this the same Charlie Keegan who, in 2000 as Director of the FAA's Free Flight program, predicted gridlock in the skies if his whiz-bang new **** wasn't installed? Is this the same Charlie Keegan who was in charge of the FAA's JPDO, and NEXGEN, and all the other money-sucking programs that have bought nothing greater than gleaming glass furniture for the fancy office suites they occupy in DC?" |
