Down goes Boeing. Another airline goes with Airbus. Qatar airlines, last Sunday it was Emirates from the UAE. Sending billions there way. Now lets see in the last year. Just the commercial side of things. China puts in a huge order with Airbus also a factory being built there too. Africa and the middle east are stock piling orders in. Even South America airlines have bought some. What is Boeing doing arguing about the Charleston plant being non union. Ok first Seattle isn't going to lose any jobs. Two the Charleston plant can't get people not to mention quality techs. Third it doesn't matter they both need to produce to catch up with Airbus. Also the French have old socialistic unions who are putting Americans out of work.
The commercial aerospace is booming. Not to mention the military aircraft production. Now here is China, India, and Brazil investing heavy in Africa. One airline in particular that is booming because of chinese customers is Ethopian airlines.
The middle east airlines are top quality to fly on. Turkish airlines is my favorite of them all. I do believe that the B777 is the best aircraft to fly on right now. I have not flown the Dreamliner jet. But would like some comments on that aircraft and the Airbus 380X.
Boeing also have other problems in the commercial market. Bombardier is comming out with small commercial jets in North America. Brazil is manufacturing a small commercial jet in the South American markets as well as a new military fighter. Russia is also producing a small commercial jet similar to the A319. Boeing 737 a proven jet with the next generation models selling well. But now there is much more competition. Here is a way to have jobs now in America. And some how we are missing it. There are emerging markets in South America, Asia, and places like Aberjzan with oil fields that are booming with the help of BP. I just don't know why America isn't on this wave going around. Qatar airlines is always full and quite nice to fly on. So what is the deal. No vision in corporate america.
The military aerospace is also booming. And yet the USAF and RAF are still flying KC-135s and VC-10s. Sweet Baby Jane we are slipping. The C5 should be replaced. If you have to have two aircraft on stand bye in case one tanks out. It's time to replace the maintenance hog. Look how many jobs right there by replacing America's and Britain's cargo fleets. Let's keep jobs at home.
Well let me know what you think. When people are working means busy hands busy minds. I think people are happier and it's good fot the soul.

If it's not Boeing, I'm not going. 
Too bad Boeing has built a perfectly good factory in S. Carolina, ready to employ some 1000 people, Americans, who want and need a steady pay check, but because of the Democrats, it's not allowed to open up and start production.

Boeing may have had some problems due to delays in the Dreamliner program, but now I think they are in a great position for the future. They just booked the biggest order(18 billion)in company history a few days ago and I think this is just the beginning. The Dreamliner is the right airplane at the right time and should keep Boeing busy for decades.

You mean after Boeing moved to try and illegally buck US labor laws.

There's nothing remotely illegal in a private company choosing where to do its business.
At least, in a FREE society. But props on parroting the regime's talking points.

The National Labor Relations Act says you are wrong, because being FREE does not mean you do not have to follow the laws.

The NLRB is acting as an arm of the Obama admin, and well beyond its place here. Your ignorance on this matter, and blind allegiance to anything from the regime, is telling.

The NLRB is acting exactly as it is suppose to prevent unfair labor practices. Try again!

Useful idiot. Your pic must be next to the definition.
There's nothing unfair about what Boeing is doing.. No old jobs were being phased out. Those in WA who had their jobs last year would still have them. This is an entirely new line, w/ new employees.

Well except for the fact that Boeing could easily continue to manufacture planes in the new plant in the event of a labor strike in the old plant. In fact the company admitted that was part of their reasoning for building where they did. That is illegal as it interferes with the rights and power of workers to organize.
