4. Why not? Because it would upset "Diversity" goals. And that goal is
to hire women and blacks at all cost REGARDLESS of the safety or
work impact with a LEFT OVER OUTDATED CLINTON Administration edict. If
the FAA is so adamant about hiring the best as stated in public
and in writing, why are they afraid of a NUMBERED BID SYSTEM???

You suppose this is the background reason the Bush administration is
trying to contract out all the government services?
What kind of organizations do you suppose have the resources to win the
contracts?

:-))

Any company that won a government (FAA) contract would have to have the same
Affirmative Action rules in place that the FAA has.

The US has given up being a meritocracy (a very distinguishing American
characteristic) LONG ago.

When government fails, the cry is not to scrap it and build anew, it's to
give even more money and resources. In the present form of cronyism, the
same status afflicts the world of commerce (HP being a most obvious
example).
