Got to have a bid to deal with the above, TA or not.

I think the economy will have a significant impact on the bid. The TA will have a bigger impact because the addition of a FDA.

BTW, what does The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) (colloquially known as the The Mother Of All Bombs) have to do with it? You military guys kill me. When is your next mission?

If the MOAB has happened once before how could this be another?

So why will the TA have a bigger impact and why isnt it leverage?

Economy may make a bigger impact as it could rapidly change growth plans if things slow down, or speed up, quickly. I guess we'll find out in about a month.

Didn't see leverage in the thread title.

You mean if the economy does well we will hire more and if the TA passes we will hire less? What if the economy does bad and the TA passes?

I am not sure your side can see leverage anywhere.

I think it is how much tailwheel time you have.

The "facts" are always obsecure and variable here at Bubba Express! The MOAB will be magically produced once the TA is resolved and we decide on the A-330/B767/used B-777 aircraft deals
