While Holding for a Briefing Today...

You can't expect a for-profit corporation to have staffing levels great enough to adequately handle the peak periods. They'd be over staffed most of the time. :-( A logical person would think that the FAA set performance requirements when they published the RFP for this program. Following that line of thought, you would think there would be adequate penalties to guarantee that the winner of the RFP would lose its tail if it didn't exceed the performance required in the RFP... Of course, we're dealing with a government agency here, so the process might not be that logical. Additionally, LockMart may have the FAA over a barrel - "Sure, I understand that the FAA could terminate our contract. But if you fire us, who is gonna take all of those phone calls tomorrow, and what number are they gonna call?" "Additionally, how's it gonna look when you go before Congress? I'd hate to see the entire top rank of the FAA get fired, because I don't think most of you will be able to get an equivalent job in the private sector." How about helping the existing briefers to set up a coop? They are there, and know what needs to be done. -ash Cthulhu in 2007! Why wait for nature? |
