At first glance Gustavo's response sounds flippant, but one would have to
know him to really judge. We now know that John approached him. And
according to Jake, the advisory committee has told him of the problem.. By
the way, what is Jennifer doing? Is this something that would be a problem
for her to resolve, as it is an engineering problem?

Gustavo is a fairly calm person. His response, as I recall, was "aye, aye,
sir!". I don't know if and when Engineering will have a solution, but at
least Gustavo is aware of the problem.

Carrie,
Did you hear G's response? Is it something that is
possible, or will be soon? Is engineering working on
the solution? Did Gentle Gustavo swear in frustration,
or is he so gentle that even that being mentioned
didn't ruffle his calm. smile
