		Tinker AFB argues that it was an abuse of discretion for the FLRA not to waive the expired time limit and accept Tinker AFB's late filing of its exceptions.
		Tinker AFB argues that one situation that courts have recognized to be an extraordinary circumstance justifying excuse is when it would be futile to present an argument or objection to the FLRA.
		Tinker AFB bases its futility argument precisely on a theory that is contrary to the Supreme Court's decision in L.A. Tucker, 348 U.S. at 37, and that we have rejected in this circuit: that FLRA precedent made it futile for Tinker AFB to argue its issue below.

		This book is the story of Grant Tinker, from his rise from a junior executive at NBC in 1949 to his rise to the presidency of the peacock network after the resignation of Fred Silverman in 1981.

		Tinker saw merit in the plan and the syndication rights to the series were eventually sold back to the partners for just $10.

	01-9528a -- Tinker Air Force Base v. Federal Labor Relations Authority -- 11/04/2002
		The FLRA's Case Control Office first received Tinker AFB's objections on May 16, 2001--more than two weeks late--when they were filed with Tinker AFB's response to the FLRA's show cause order.
		When the FLRA concluded that Tinker AFB's response to its order to show cause was not satisfactory and that Tinker AFB's exceptions were untimely, it entered, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 2423.41(a), an order adopting the conclusions of the ALJ as its own decision and order.
		For the reasons explained above, the FLRA did not abuse its discretion in finding that Tinker AFB's exceptions were late--indeed, Tinker AFB concedes that fact--or in refusing to grant Tinker AFB an extension.

		It was Tinker who was brought in to save NBC from its disastrous slide into the network cellar and who provided the basic building blocks for the network's rise.
		What is not widely known is how Tinker returned to NBC (he had formerly worked in the network's programming department before going on to found MTM Productions with his then partner and wife, Mary Tyler Moore).
		The response was "Why would Grant want the job, he's happy at MTM- but why not give it a try." With the go-ahead, Aaron made the call, and to NBC's pleasant surprise, Tinker was just in the mood for a change.
