The General Accounting Office said Wednesday that the bidding process that awarded a multi-billion dollar Air Force refueling tanker contract to a French company was flawed. Society Of Professional Engineering Employees In Aerospace spokesman, Bill Dugovich says if this contract goes back to Boeing now thousands of U.S. jobs will be created.

[Dugovich]: "We're very pleased that the GAO recognized that the process used to award this bid was flawed and it was flawed from the beginning. We're hopeful now that the Air Force will recognize the flaws and award the contract to the rightful winner to begin with. And that's the Boeing company and the KC-767 tanker."
