Cool. Punish unions and solidify foreign relations. What's not to like?

Great idea, let the Russians design it. It'll be made of carbon steel, weigh 4 million pounds, have to have engines the size of Texas to fly, and no thought will be given to metal fatigue.

I know a few "locals", recent college grads with good grades, that can't find work. Why not hire them first?

If they can't find work, I hope it's not because they took degrees in the humanities. That would be a waste.

You did not say.

Not to start something, but you know, white males DO have a problem getting jobs these days. (And I am not even a white male saying this.)

As for me, I found that when I passed fifty, I became marginally employable while highly skilled.
I had to pull out of Seattle (Tukwila, actually) because age discrimination closed down the job market for me. Luckily, I was able to pole vault into retirement and haven't looked back. For recent grads, all I can say is that the Northwest has been an unemployment problem for the last decade.
Move.

10 engines, counting two on the humongous tail. It is a "Caspian Sea Monster," designed to carry troops at 250 miles per hour over the Black and Baltic Seas in the old Soviet era.

So age discrimination is becoming a problem even for the highly skilled? The NW is booming. What other part of the county is hiring? Maybe too much work is being outsourced?

They did pretty good using a tape and mic on the Boeing B-29 they commandeered after it had been forced to land in NE Russia in WWII. Seattle just needs to send them a sample.

When unemployment is at 4.6%, outsourcing isn't the problem.
