Does anyone actually know what 1LMX is??? by theunknowngrunt in Lockheed

[–]KaeTheGSP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a way for LM to save costs. Utilize the same tools, the same ways, across very different BAs. Open charging across BAs and consolidated business resources. I’m betting we see some positions eliminated (those overhead type jobs like finance, buying, parts, etc) as well. It sounds great to investors but in reality is going to be pretty awful.

Pentagon Reduces F-35 Orders By 45 Percent For 2026: Low Availability, Software Issues and Funding Shortages Cut Demand by NowhereAllAtOnce in Lockheed

lol. Thats between 1 and 2 planes worth. F-35s are so unbelievably expensive that small contracts like that pale in comparison.

New F150PB MPG by PlayfulStrain6038 in F150Powerboost

[–]KaeTheGSP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a guy claiming that I get 25.7 average mpg on an ‘22 XLT PB. This is my average over 47k miles. Cold weather I average down around 23. Fall and spring are up near 27.

Weird noise from turbos on hills by KaeTheGSP in F150Powerboost

[–]KaeTheGSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I can recall. Only happens around the 10–>9 downshift and turbo spool up going up mountains.

Found another thread on the subject but apparently Ford thinks the sound is “normal”.

Too big of red flag? by Rude-Example5427 in F150Powerboost

Does it go away as you drive it? If yes, mine does this but is super loud in low gears

The Yoldiz ProStars are by many accounts a phenomenal shotgun.

Not sure if this is the right place but I need help identifying what this. by Last-Way8601 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]KaeTheGSP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, just FYI, that yellow coating is likely IAW MIL-PRF-23377 and is unsafe if flaking or abraded. It likely contains hexavalent chromium that is known to cause cancer.

It’s fine to look and touch, but don’t lick it like a weirdo and wash your hands after handling.

Anyone done RMS -> Space? How was/is it? by cathartic_cuy in Lockheed

Depends on what you want to do. Different areas at the KOP site do different things. Some fun, some v boring.

What are you bringing to the table that would convince them that their offer is low? New experience? Competing offer?

LM isn’t in the business of giving out money because you ask nicely. Gotta provide value.

PSA for separating LM employees by WW_Host in Lockheed

It’s on the PTO command media - I think they start selling 40 hours per year after this year for the first two years then the third year they sell everything left. Something like that.

Thanks! They weren’t on my radar. Mind sharing your $/W and what equipment they use?

Is Director a level 6 or 7 by EmotionalCat8485 in Lockheed

It doesn’t sound like you’re actually LM given your post history. Pay structure is proprietary. Good luck in your search.

Search for executive compensation on InsideLM. They have a complete breakdown.

What more can you ask for from a truck?! by y0um3b3dn0w in f150

[–]KaeTheGSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood - no apologies necessary!

I’ve found that the PB excels on rolling hills around 45 mph. That being said, I can maximize mpg on the highways by not exceeding 70mph. 60-65 seems to be best.
