Lockheed regularly gets government handouts, has a staff of probably 300 just to do billing alone, and pushes the direction of the game.
A company like ACT that had 3 engineers, 5 floor guys, an executive engineer and me, having to deal with the inadequacies of the government is a whole other story.
I'm much more concerned about the kickbacks and corporate welfare that Lockheed receives versus our company of 10 and creative ways to make DOD contracting work.
it was a great company, we ended up making carbon fiber hockey sticks for Bauer who bought the whole thing and moved it to Canada.
