FirstLine Transportation wins their battle...

and has successfully challenged the contract that was awarded to Akal Security, Inc. for the Kansas City International Airport in Kansas City, Mo. (MCI)

A judge has concluded that the TSA's award decision was fundamentally flawed and should be set aside.

Will there be a similar challenge for the contract awarded at SFO?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul?

This information might explain the severe cost cutting measures that CAS has been following!


"Covenant has assigned all revenue to a third party at both SFO and Sioux Falls. (assignment of claims)
Some firms advertise it as a service to provide cash flow, although in theory it could be a creditor demanding payment.
So now Covenant has to cover the cost of financing, increasing the need to cut corners."

Your Bedtime Story!

TSA has awarded Sioux Falls and Sonoma to Trinity Technology Group. No official word if they've partnered with our heroes.

(Figure out for yourselves just who "our heroes" are.)

More Dirt on the TSA courtesy of Rep. John Mica

Rep. Mica, in one of his interviews, stated that the TSA now has a workforce of 63,000 employees.

Of those 63,000 roughly 12,000 are making more than 105,000 dollars a year.

The breakdown is as follows: 3,800 employees at the Washington, D.C. office are making 105,000 bucks a year. 7,800 employees out in the field are also at that pay scale.

Not a bad country America. It truly is a land of opportunity!

What ever happened to.....?

The petition that was submitted to management concerning a certain manager that alienated the majority of the CTX workforce? For all their time and effort, Nada!

Management went through the motions and interviewed the usual suspects, but as usual they swept in under the rug. Well, don't give up! The Feds eventually did get the "Teflon Don." So, all you petitioners should stay hopeful.
