McCulley will retire Sept. 28 after a 38-year career as a naval aviator, shuttle astronaut and highly regarded space industry executive.
Daniel Brandenstein, who also was a shuttle pilot and mission commander, will step into Covey's current position and serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company, which serves as NASA's prime shuttle fleet operator.

Almost at a contract? What the ....? You ain't said word one yet you lock step puppet. Look what you are doing to your family. I do not respect your kind.
This whole blog is a waste of time. It's a whole big he said-he said thing. Most of the union workers are good people who work hard. All they ask for is a fair contract. I thought negotiations were supposed to be give and take, but so far that's not what has happened. So please don't spout off things that you don't even know about. give it a rest.
Beer is the answer! (What was the question?)
