Me too.

However, in the drones defense, things like the turn signal switch are not in the parts book because those parts replaced the European parts that won't withstand the environment they are going to be working in. It's in the Build Sheets, but for whatever reason, CS does not have access to those. Also, many of our customers have Preferred Vendors that they have to purchase from. So, even though the UPRR mechanic looking for the switch knows he can go down the street and get it from the local auto parts store for 50% less than we sell it for and walk out of that same auto parts store with it in his hand, he can't.
