I made the comment in public, long before I got to this place, that this was not going to work, taking an unproven airframe, an unproven mission package and marrying them. And I wasn't the only one. There were a lot of people saying this was not going to come in on time or on budget, and so on.
That being said, I think you discussed risk management before. I'd like you to discuss that. You touched on it, and maybe you can just finish it off. You talked about this as an exercise now in risk management, taking the penalties, doing some compromising, going back to the company and saying here's a way out of this so we don't stop the program; here's how we can perhaps make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and get a better airplane, and not punish the company unnecessarily.
