Lawmakers Call For Airbus Penalty On KC-X

Sixteen lawmakers — both Democrats and Republicans — are calling on the Defense Dept. to develop a mechanism to penalize a Northrop Grumman/EADS proposal to replace KC-135 refuelers for the U.S. Air Force.
The legislators take issue with the process laid out in the Air Force's September draft request for proposals for the KC-X competition. Northrop Grumman/EADS is planning to propose an Airbus A330-based design with Boeing likely to offer a 767 or, possibly, a 777. At issue is the Air Force's proposal not to consider the impact of illegal government aid on the cost of the Airbus-based model.
