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)

The Bad News From Boeing

Boeing sending IT work overseas
Boeing Commercial Airplanes is shifting more of its software programming work to India and other countries, a trend that worries union officials who've already seen the company off-loading to its partners large tasks of manufacturing and aircraft design.
Boeing's shedding of lower-rung programmers parallels the company's plan to shift much of the manufacturing work on its new 7E7 to outside partners. The trends have led some observers to question the $3.2 billion in tax incentives that kept the 7E7 program here.
