Brinkmanship, right. Everybody seems to know what's going on but us. The military planning goes out 7 years on current PORs and further in the Aviation planning, The F-35 plans to 2075.

Your guess is as good or better than mine, always a fricking eNigma

Those guys aren't planning on any disruption of supply. Like Sculley said words to the effect that the "Branches & Services" have schedules to hew too. Presumably there is no new equipment until the Fed $$$ hit's the E Fishkill National Bank. So i have to assume the tweaked tool Sculley mentioned is the missing ingredient. The one that fits "in" to the present line and theoretically that will give them enough capacity to meet schedule demands while the other line is installed. I only say "other" because Sculley mentioned "lines" not line.
