Government Contract Was Reportedly Negotiated Between FAA
Employee And Raytheon Executive Who Were Intimately Involved
A researcher at Georgia State University says that operational
errors among air traffic controllers between December 2008 and
October 2010 have risen some 3,300 percent when compared to January
2007 and November 2008. And, he says, the most likely cause for
that dramatic increase is a contract for training awarded to
Raytheon worth nearly $1 billion.
