Wholly crap why so much outsourcing? Is the Euro community holding Boeing hostage? “Better let us in on the action, otherwise good luck selling your planes to Euro Airlines”??
I hate GE but certainly they could be building engines vs what I assume is Rolls Royce?
What about Pratt and Whitney engines?
A compromise to political reality that Boeing sells to many of these countries. "See we're practically Japanese/Turkish/Chinese etc anyway..."
Offsets.
You buy stuff from us, we buy your stuff.
Most international negotiations focus on this crap.
Don’t want anyone mad at you...
