Doubtless, he also has a "Golden Parachute" that will give him more money than he would be able to ever spend should he be removed. The whole thing stinks, and is a shining example of corporate greed run amok, which is killing the west. IMO, YMMV, etc. |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | I like the selective outrage. Funny, but I didn't see any of this anger when one of Cheney's companies dealt with Iran, after they were told not to. I'm just saying. I think we, as a whole, should be more consistant with our outrage, instead of picking and choosing which hot buttons to push. Then again, I could be wrong.

We've jailed people for treason for less  Immelt has dug himself into a hole that he will have to stay in. A HUGE portion of his wealth is spent on private security, I know people that work for the various companies that they must ROTATE in and out service. Covering him has become their third largest accounts after Iraq and Astan. He has crosshairs on his head from many different directions. His day will come. I doubt he will ever enjoy a wealthy retirement. |

So if they need LM1600 parts You think they can't have 'em just because those parts can (but shouldn't) be used in F404? Not that they probably have any, but just as an example.
A companies usually supply spares according to their contracts, and those contracts are often drawn for the lifespan of the equipment.
Strategic materials and parts that are restricted by laws are obviously a differnt matter.
Regards

Lets just line every board head, politician and CEO out on the white house lawn, place a shot gun in each ones mouth and start over IMO. |
