Thanks, I was hoping someone would post this.

Next time someone complains about Patty Murray standing up for her states largest employer I would like to reference this.

It is interesting that the Alabama folks are so hard on Boeing who has employed thousands in the state for years (don't they know Huntsville is part of Alabama).

Have you looked at he pricing of a bare bones A330f without refueling equipment installed, which is what there KC-30 is going to be based on vs the price of a KC-767 fitted out.

us dollars a330f——136.6-145.5 million (2003 figure) no ar
equipment installed
kc-767-—130-150 million outfiited with ar
equipment

must be able to discount them scarebuses with all that slush money loans.
