Will EADS file a protest on Boeings Award of the KCX Tanker contract?
Personally it is my opinion that the GAO is fraught with massive corruption internally, and that the GAO should be investigated for any wrong doings. My first point... A government accountability office for government oversight is like putting the fox into the hen house. If you look at past whistleblowers in the government they all got fired. Talk about corruption. Hence will EADS file and more diligently will they take it to the world courts. Everyone said EADS had an unfair advantage with the data swap over Boeing. It is my opinion that the data swap could have given an unfair advantage to Boeing as well. I not only hope they file a protest, but they should also file it in the courts. In the recent past it was brought forward that Boeing indeed receive government subsidies. I expect USAE might receive some part of a contract in helping to build the KCX. However a valid protest would make for one heck of a re-bid. I say EADS would be crazy not to.
We will know in about two weeks. Boeings subsidies will allow for a new Antonov/USAE bid if this happens. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/eads-may-protest-boeing-contract-2011-02-25?reflink=MW_news_stmp
Antonov and USAE still have an agreement until July that could be extended in the event of a re-bid. If not I think the Boeing award would be more favorable for a sub contract possibility for USAE
