11 - As I said, Boeing is getting out of the aircraft manufacturing business. It has not been widely publicized, but it has been publicized.

Boeing will no longer manufacture aircraft or parts. They are selling off all their manufacturing capabilities, and offshoring them too.

Boeing is going to become an 'integrator', and will only 'assemble' parts made by other manufacturers.

As an example, you say "The commercial side in Seattle is pushing hard for the 7E7 "Dreamliner." "

Sort of true, except that boeing will only assemble the parts for it, and will only use about 700 Boeing personnel for a whole new generation of passenger aircraft.

Not even close.

I do a lot of work with Boeing (IDS), and have a few business contacts/opportunities I am working with BCA, and it is obvious you know not a heck of a lot of what Boeing is, does and wants to do.

Boeing actively bids on all sorts of contracts, lost the last two major fighter competitions; i.e., F-22, F-35 (fix was in).

7E7 is a great jet with market potential to blow that Frog Airbus out the window. Trying hard to open the lines, and when new jets are sold, the lines open. Spares, mods and upgrades are part of the line and the line functions.

Anyway, keep with your biases and I won't confuse you with facts.

Have a nice day. . .(*click*---Ignore on)
