There is a lot more detail behind the scenes than what was posted. When boeing really mounts their effort counter effort, a lot of shit is going to hit the fan. Boeing did in fact win on multiple counts, and a lot of politics went on that could get some key people in a lot of trouble. Too bad I can't regurgitate everything I know word for word. Just wait for it.

I have a feeling this is going to lead to a repeat of the under-the-table shitstorm that went on when the original KC-767 contract was nixed. Only this time it'll be against Airbus.
