"Peraton has basically not done any work since they got in" LMFAO
EXCLUSIVE: FAA officials are raising concerns about the performance of contractor Peraton overseeing the Trump administration’s overhaul of the nation’s air traffic control system — unhappiness that could result in scaling back the company’s role in the effort.
“The big issues here are threefold,” said a person familiar with these discussions, adding that “Peraton has basically not done any work since they got in.” The person said the agency was partially at fault, too, saying it has stonewalled Peraton’s efforts to work seamlessly with FAA counterparts.
Multiple problems have arisen since the company won the contract in December, said the three people who spoke to POLITICO, as well as a fourth person — a former FAA employee — with knowledge of the situation.
There are examples: In one case, a Peraton manager showed up to a radar site that was being worked on, and instead of ensuring that the subcontractors were carrying out their duties, brought doughnuts and sat in the corner the entire time, said one industry official with knowledge of the incident.
The sentiment among subcontractors and working technicians, the official said, was “why is somebody here babysitting us that doesn't know anything and doesn't do anything? The government [is] spending money on a resource that is not providing value.”
