  > Wonder who's paying for the cost overruns? Boeing A compelling theory about Boeing's lack of competence wrt Starliner is that they are institutionally unable to operate under a fixed-price regime.

  Boeing for now. If Boeing keeps screwing the pooch though... who here doesn't think they'll be bailed out one way or the other?

    This gao report is about EUS, which isn't a fixed price contract, so really it is the taxpayer.
