Do you want AGCAS or a reliable OBOGS, or GCUs and brakes in the supply system? You can't have everything. You act as though the services have unlimited resources. What are your priorities?
Gotta call bullshit here Brett. There is absolutely NO reason we can't have a reliable breathing system AND a system that will save lives (AGCAS). That comment is a cop out from higher ups. The loss of 1 jet would have paid for AGCAS software testing and implementation. We can afford magic carpet, a nice to have software upgrade but not AGCAS, yeah a software upgrade? How is it the AF can see this and implement it YEARs ago now, but we keep fucking it away? I am so tired of that lame excuse of you can't have it all. I'm not asking for it all, I'm asking for shit that will save lives and equipment. And if we used our resources correctly and could move pots of money around, there wouldn't be as big of a problem. Oh, shit end of fiscal year, gotta use that money, gotta burn those flight hours, can't turn it back in or we will get less next year. That is the stupid ass logic we use still. Unfucking believable.
