New defense CEO, same mess underneath. The FAA still won’t sign off on the production ramp-up, and we’re stuck, again. While we’re left waiting, leadership’s busy rearranging org charts and pretending that’s progress. I'm getting so, so tired of this... — read more

Isn’t that a fiasco? 100 Billion per plane that won’t fly in rain. How bad is that engineering problem? How the heck did they pass QA? A stealth fighter that can’t fly away is just crazy. Good roast on YouTube.
