Moving up

LM gets a new F-35 person.

Martin will be replaced in Fort Worth by Jeff Babione, who has been serving as Deputy General Manager on the F-35 program. He will lead the development, production and sustainment efforts across the fighter jet’s three variants.

If he had a 'deep understanding' of the F-35 program, he would be warning his bosses about the large amount of real...trouble it has been facing.

Martin, who has worked on the F-35 program for four years, will serve in a newly-created job as deputy executive vice president for Mission Systems and Training, the division that is set to absorb Sikorsky, which Lockheed agreed to buy in July for $9 billion.

I guess you could sell that as a 'promotion'.

Because any other statement would be a communication disaster with the share-holders.

Let's hear from Joe bag-o-doughnuts.

“I congratulate Lorraine on her new position. Since 2013 we worked together on the F-35 program to deliver a world-class weapons system to the warfighter and improve government and contractor relations,” said Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan, the F-35 program executive officer.

Wow. That is an interesting look at history.
