OK, This is Now Officially Insubordination

The Secretary of Defense decided to cancel it, the President agreed, and forwarded the termination onto Congress, which approved, and still the US Air Force is looking at ways to preserve F-22 production tooling:
Five months after the US Congress approved the cancellation of the Lockheed Martin F-22, the air force is still deciding whether to preserve or scrap the production tooling.

The options under discussion include preserving at least the core of Lockheed's ability to build F-22 components and systems, although restarting production is not the USAF leadership's intent, says acquisition chief Lt Gen Mark Shackelford.

Rather, USAF officials are considering the cost of preserving tooling to sustain the F-22, which could include a service life extension programme in several years. The same tooling could also be used to repair or replace damaged Raptors.
What part of, "Your bosses told you that the program was terminated don't you get?"

You don't get to build new aircraft, and your continued activities are insubordinate.
