[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump rambling about how his airplane captain uses guidance from another country, which he won’t name.

They’re gonna create a new untested system for the non one percent. Hope you can swim and also not catch on fire and also not die from impact.

Good luck!🍀

We're all gonna sit down and do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new. Not pieced together, obsolete, like it is, land-based. Trying to hook up a land-based system to a satellite system.

The first thing that some experts told me when this happened is you can't hook up land to satellites and you can't hook up satellites to land. It doesn't work. We spend billions of billions of dollars trying to renovate an old, broken system, instead of just saying cut it loose, and let's spend less money and build a great system done by two or three companies, very good companies, specialists, that's all it is.

They used 39 companies. That means that 39 different hookups have to happen. And I don't know how many people of you are good in terms of all of the kinds of things necessary for that. And it's very complex stuff.

But when you have 39 different companies working on hooking up different cities at different people. You need one company. With one set of equipment. And there are some countries that have unbelievable air controller systems.

And they would've, bells would've gone off when that helicopter literally even hit the same height. Because it traveled a long distance before it hit. It was just like, just wouldn't stop. Follow the line. But bells and whistles would've gone off. They have 'em where it actually could virtually turn the thing around. It would've just never happened if we had the right equipment.

And one of things that's gonna be, l'm gonna speaking to John and to Mike and to Chuck and everybody, we have to get together and just as a single bill just pass where we get the best control system.

When I land in my plane, privately, l use a system from another country because my captain tells me, I'm landing in New York and I'm using a sys- I won't tell you what country, but l use a system from another country because the captain says 'This thing is so bad, it's so obsolete.' And we can't have that.[/quote]

NextGen has been a dismal failure with constant cost overruns and late delivery. All the contractors want a seat at the trough because the flow of money is neverending with little oversight. By the time something is ready for delivery it has already been made obsolete by new design specifications. It's currently due to be completed in 2030. I won't hold my breath.

NextGen is so lucrative, my former contracting company spun off the NextGen division as a separate company, hired all the current C-suites to run it, and sold the rest of the company to the highest bidder. [/quote]

If DOGE really wants to DOGE it should look into modifying the FAR to more easily allow SSJ for critical systems. And then fund whatever litigation arm of whatever agency they need to in order to actually really defend protests to contract awards. And write deliverable deadlines with actual teeth.
