Has Boeing Seen Northrop's Hand?

Has Boeing Seen Northrop's Hand?

Boeing got to see the pricing information for the previous tanker contest. Are the numbers outdated or did they get an unfair advantage?

A week into the new contest and Alabama's tanker team is already crying foul.

After Boeing protested last year's win by Northrop Grumman and EADS, the Air Force reportedly showed Boeing their competitors pricing information.

Leaders at Northrop and Alabama's Congressional Delegation say that's not fair! The military believes that the old pricing information is outdated and inaccurate.

Congressman Jo Bonner has requested Boeing's pricing information. He says that's the only fair thing to do. "If Boeing or the Air Force believes this information is not relevant, then why don't they just show their hand. It would clear up a very an early question but an important question right off the bat."

If the Northrop team wins the 40 billion dollar deal, they would assemble tankers at Mobile's Brookley Field and bring thousands of high paying jobs to the Port City.

A winner is expected to be announced next summer.
