Boeing's KC-X campaign continues to stir the protest pot with the public release of its redacted complaint filed to the Government Accountability Office. I'm sure the 22-page document will be poured over by reporters, politicians and, not least, the GAO's auditors.
While most protest filings are typically dense legal documents, Boeing's report is impressively accessible. It almost makes you wonder if the intended audience is a team of GAO auditors, or a mass audience.
But one sentence more than any other stands out. It says:
"Furthermore, the US Air Force's actions show that it altogether failed to comprehend the inherent manufacturing genius of the 767 bid."
Um, did they really say "inherent manufacturing genius"?
Yes, that's what the document says. See page 3, last paragraph.
