SLICC Pods Are New First Class Cabins For Air Force Brass

I’ve never been on a trans-Atlantic aboard a military transport aircraft, but I can guess that they’re not the most comfortable way to fly. So it’s understandable that top-ranking Air Force brass would want something a little more amenable to resting, taking meetings, and watching Hot Shots Pt. Deux on a 37″ flatscreen. That’s where the Senior Leader Intransit Comfort Capsule (SLICC) comes in–a private chamber being built for Air Force officers with beds, couches, the aforementioned flatscreen and other amenities. The problem? The Air Force has been caught diverting counterterrorism funds toward big SLICC’s development.
