Boeing probably had to pull back on the bribery strategy.

Patty Murray is going to be one pissed off senator. Too bad for her. Queen Christine ain’t going to be a happy camper either.

Good news for Mobile and Alabama. Now all they have to do is build a plant, hire and train people and so on. The KC 135s are old now and will be ancient when the first new tanker rolls out.
I do have mixed feelings over Airbus even with the partnering with Northrop Grumman.

Those former McDonnell Douglas employees must’ve been all-powerful, promising that woman (whose name escapes me) and her daughter employment at Boeing as a reward.

boeing’s got to make sure it can deliver on its 787 and fix whatever possible 777 engine problems they may have.
To: Radio Free Tuscaloosa
No, ask John McCain. He is the one that opposed Boeing getting the contract to begin with.

Europe will make good profit from this deal too. Someday, America may have it’s very own defense industry.

Any idea why the KC-10 wasn’t continued? Was it that stupid peace dividend crap?
