Dicks: Boeing not guaranteed tanker, but ‘we had better win'

#3  Shoudla gone with the 777 base to begin with instead of the 767.

Bottom line, the original Northrop-EADS bid was better against Boeings short-legged, lower capacity, higher maint old 767 airframe based bid in an effort to save their 767 line instead of producing what the USAF needed.

If its 777 based, then I think they will probably win it on merit. As long as they don't get arrogant again.

#2  The full quote:

“There is going to be a competition and we had better win the competition,” he said. “It isn't going to be rigged.”

To be fair this seems to say that he expects them to win by being better.

On the other hand - he is a Democrat and his lips were moving.
