Carter: JSF Program Manager Based F-35 Award Fees On Desire to Protect Lockheed Exec
http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/rele.....kheed.html
Citat: A former Joint Strike Fighter program executive officer was fired in 2010 after explaining that he based the government's decision to award prime contractor Lockheed Martin 85 percent of the potential award fee -- when the F-35 program was suffering from major cost growth and schedule delays -- on his desire to protect the job of his Lockheed counterpart, according to a former senior Pentagon official.
Citat:And," Carter continued, "he looked me in the eye . . . and said: 'I like the program manager on the Lockheed Martin side that I work with and he tells me that if he gets less than 85 percent award fee, he's going to get fired.'" (Emphasis added—Ed.)
