Do we have any contract officers on this board that can shine some light on the contract creation process and why it always seems to suck?

I'm not a contracting officer but I have participated in the process. From what I've seen, LookieRookie nailed it. Companies know how to game the system and it's a race to the bottom for the lowest cost technically acceptable contracts. Company owners make a shitload of profit, workers get paid peanuts and/or are under-qualified and the service to the AF sucks balls. They get away with it because the contracting officers reps don't want to write the company up because they are too busy with their other additional duties and the contracting officer doesn't want to deal with the pissed company fighting a bad rating.

Question on the Viper syllabus (beyond the MX discussion, seemed like the most appropriate place to ask).  Is everyone on the 6 month syllabus now?  Also what are the differences between the 6 and 9 month syllabus, i.e. what got cut out?
