Well Ken, I hereby publically eat my words - the LM careers page appears
to be down, but BAe A/c Controls do indeed list an opening for
entry-level software engineers, with Ada being one of the preferred
languages to have been exposed to. It's rather lonely among the "3-5
years experience" positions, but it is there.

Of course they're hardly going to jump through the H1B hoops for an
entry-level position, but let's not even get started on that topic :-)
