“The contract was originally awarded to the proven Airbus product, to be built in Alabama.”
Yes. This is when that genius Senator Patty Murray made this statement:
“I have stood on the line in Everett, Washington, where we have thousands of workers who go to work every day to build these planes,”
Murray said in a Dec. 7 interview
with National Public Radio. “I would challenge anybody to tell me that they’ve stood on a line in Alabama and seen anybody building anything.”
Airbus is currently constructing their third expansion at their assembly plant in Mobile, Alabama. Coincidentally very near where Austal builds Navy ships.
Why are they doing that?
