Hello all,

A reminder that the May VRs are due soon.  Keep in mind that the May working 
schedule is our basis for the July review, so it’s crucial to fully 
understand the variances.  This will have to go into your slides.

Many are already posted (thanks!), here are some comments:

-6.4.3 looks good, I have approved it

-6.5.4: I don’t understand this: any pre-rebaselining variance would have 
been zeroed out, and in fact there is no variance at Columbia.  I have 
unlocked this.

-6.6.3: the SV report looks fine, but CV is missing, so I have unlocked this.

-6.6.4: "The schedule variance of $866k is mostly due to delays in the 
schedule. We are set to enter full production now, so are hit with a variance 
of roughly $720k.” This basically says there is a schedule variance because 
there is a schedule variance.  Please say something about the actual source.  
(I guess it’s purchase of comonents…)  I have unlocked this.

-6.6.5: looks good but you forgot to submit.  (BTW, I think you meant 
“remainder” rather than “reminder”)

-6.8 looks good and I have approved.
-6.8.3: nice to see a $100k positive variance this month.  I approved the 
text.

Best,

Gustaaf
