Now wouldn't you think.. that after Boeing got in trouble.. ok.. not Boeing
but a high up muckymuck in the Pentagon that went to work for Boeing.. got
in trouble over the KC-X program.. that Northrop/EADS would have a complaint
of Boeing got the contract?

Wait.. Northrop is an AMERICAN company.. so what's the big whup all about..

snip long story on Boeing's whining...

This shouldn't surprise anyone familiary with gov't contracts. With
the huge $$ at stake in the KC-X program I expected the loser
(whomever that would be) to appeal. Apparently that's the automatic
response to losing a big contract now. Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin/
Agusta Westland did the same when the USAF chose Boeing's HH-47 for
the CSAR-X program.
