Yeah, I didn't want to make that clear until a few days down the line should the company attempt an investigation. Not claiming so they really have no business. It's still a touchy subject since we bundled our auto and home. If we lose one, we lose everything.

On the AF topic:

Government shutdowns and the like (plus the more amplified opinionated political bickering going on) has pretty much canned my plans for the AF Reserve. I may join, but who the heck is to say that they'll stop at the F136 engine contract axe? They could scale back contract to AF reserve workers (what I'd do) which would put me in the bread line. No bueno.

I can understand axing the F-22 because 100 operational airframes is more than enough to supplement the F-35. But to axe a backup engine is just.. gah. So they just want one engine. Ok. But.. They just tossed away millions (or even a billion) in funding and R&D for that powerplant.
