Didn’t Boeing move its headquarters to Chicago?

[ReverendJames]

Boeing moved their corporate HQ to Chicago because it centralized its operations. Boeing does more than just build commercial airplanes. There’s like five divisions scattered around the US and the world. It felt that being basically in the center of the US it shortened a lot of communication lines.

I’ll bet Boeing got some protection from rising rates in its incentive package for moving to Chicago. If it didn’t, their attorneys will start ASAP figuring out how to unwind their deal.

Yes it did.

Yes. From Washington a state w/o an Income Tax.

Bummer.

Yes, Boeing moved its HQ to IL because it's CEO at the time, Harry Stonecipher, had his oldest daughter living in the Chicago area and didn't want to fly four hours each way to visit. Harry retired from Boeing, but was brought back 18 months hater as interim CEO. On his second tenure as CEO,

Harry got caught playing around with a 45 year old female VP (he was 66-67). The Boeing Board asked him to resign and the VP got fired. Mrs. Stonecipher was the last to know and first to file for divorce. She got 50 percent of everything Harry had (including his Boeing perks). The fired female VP was divorced by her husband. The Boeing HQ remains behind in IL as a tribute to Harry Stonecipher.
