I saw a thing in the Wall Street Journal last week about alternative materials use in aircraft, and how Alcoa is trying to regain market lost to composites.
The picture with the article showed Boeing fuselages being assembled by a contractor in Oklahoma!
A right-to-work state, of course.
You don’t hear about that at all.
Boeing has taken a hard stand against the union on this second 787 assembly line in SC.
I really believe Boeing is looking down the road a decade or two to shed the biggest part of union involvement in the company. That’s a guess on my part and there’s no way they’d admit to it now.
