On 24 August 2011, the New Left Project published an article by Julian Petley, arguing that the PCC is “not, and never has been, a regulator”: he presents the case that the PCC is the equivalent of the customer services department of any large corporate organisation, responding to customer complaints for most of the British press. The PCC responded to this article on their own website, asserting that the PCC is a regulatory organisation which very regularly intervenes “proactively and pre publication to prevent tabloid and broadsheet stories appearing” and Jonathan Collett asserts that this method has an “almost 100% success rate”. Petley responded to Collett in the New Left Project on 26 August, asserting that the PCC “lacks sufficient sanctions to be able to punish effectively those who breach its Code” and that the problem is not the PCC but its funding (See Press Standards Board of Finance.)
Under the leadership of Marcola, also known as “Playboy,” currently detained for bank robbery, the PCC took part in the March 2003 murder of Judge Antônio José Machado Dias, who ran the Penitentiary Readaptation Center (CRP) from Presidente Bernardes, Sao Paulo, currently Brazil’s most strict supermax style prison. The PCC also announced its objective to use prison uprisings as a way to demoralize the government and to destroy the CRP.
The company manufactures a variety of parts for the aerospace industry including many jet engine components. PCC also makes medical prostheses and parts for other industrial applications such as in the oil industry, the gas industry, and for use in power generating turbines for producing electricity. They are considered a leader in the manufacturing of both jet engine airfoils and gas turbines used for generating electricity. The company generates $5 million in revenue for each Boeing 787 Dreamliner built. Other products made from the various metals are fasteners, products for the paper industry, parts used in the defense industry, and parts for the automotive industry. PCC’s main markets are the United States, Europe, and Asia.
According to Consumers’ Checkbook magazine, PCC’s prices for the limited number of comparable items available were higher than the big chain average. However, the quality of PCC’s fresh produce and meat received very high scores. The prices of organic food at PCC were about the same as the average prices at other stores in the Puget Sound area.
Pensacola Christian College operates The Crowne Centre, also called the “Campus Church,” which is an Independent Baptist church in its campus auditorium and has Sunday morning, evening and Wednesday evening services. According to PCC, “All students carrying 12 or more credit hours are required to attend chapel. Part time students and special students attend chapel on the days in which they have a class before noon.”
The Forged Products segment includes Wyman Gordon,PCC Energy Group, Titanium Metals Corporation(Timet), and Special Metals Corporation and serves the aerospace and power generation markets. They produce engine components as well as airframe structural components for both military and commercial aircraft. They also produce mechanical and structural tubular products for use in energy markets.
On March 25, 2013 Pensacola Christian College filed a lawsuit in federal court against Gage seeking $100,000 in damages for “allegedly committed trademark infringement and cybersquatting for more than a decade.” The lawsuit was dropped in early April and since the settlement, the domain name for The Student Voice now redirects to PCC’s main home page.

Washington, DC, PCCs were unique because of conduit plows which collected current from a slot between the rails into which the plow dipped, contacting positive and negative rails under the street on either side. At the city limits were “plow pits”, where the plow was dropped and removed, the trolley pole raised, and the car then continued on its way, utilizing overhead wire; the process was reversed in the opposite direction into Washington.
While some of the components in the PCC car had been used before-resilient wheels, magnetic braking, sealed gears, and modular design to name a few-the ERPCC redesigned, refined, and perfected many of these while developing new acceleration and braking controls and put them all in one package. The PCC is far more than a good design, it is an excellent design with modern transit rail vehicles essentially upgrading the design with the most recent technology.
