Boeing to shift 2,400 jobs away from Huntington Beach facility by 2020
Orange County Register ^ | November 16, 2016 | Margot Roosevelt and Greg Mellen

Boeing will shift more than 2,400 jobs out of its Huntington Beach facility over the next four years, the aerospace giant announced Tuesday, slicing in half the number of workers at the sprawling campus.

A nationwide streamlining of operations at the company’s Defense, Space & Security division will result in the transfer of 300 Huntington Beach jobs to its Seal Beach facility and 1,600 positions to its plants in Long Beach and El Segundo.

Another 500 jobs will move to St. Louis. And an additional 400 will move to Huntsville, Ala., from Huntington Beach and other facilities around the country.

If you own a home in Southern California and get transferred to Alabama or Missouri I bet that you will be able to buy A really nice house back there.

A lot of nice things will come with that inexpensive house, too. Bugs, oppressive heat, miserable humidity. Did I mention bugs?

Said movement was preceded by folks in mostly northern and rural CA who wanted to split the state in two.

1. Split the state.
2. let the libs try to stay solvent in their utopia.

Me personally, if given a choice between Alabama or Huntington Beach, CA? I'd wish my employer the best of luck!☺

Not really. The C17 line shutdown in 2015, however a few hundred employees remain because of a support contract with the US Govt and some foreign countries to maintain the C17 fleet. That is the one major piece of Huntington Beach work that is staying put. Once everyone else leaves the Huntington Beach “plant” would probably be more accurately described as an office park.

Ladies and Germs, I give you The State of Jefferson.

Dark red was originally proposed in 1941, light red counties have Jeffersonian sympathies.

My dad, in Butte County, routinely wears his State of Jefferson sweatshirt.

I really need him to ship me one to AZ :)

F The Honorable Jeff Sessions becomes Secretary of Defense . . . I expect Rocket City U.S.A. and all of our defense contractors in the area to benefit quite nicely.

I hope he doesn't make strategic defense decisions on the basis of delivering pork to Alabama.

Do your kids go to UAH? I work in helicopters and was at one of our events last year on the UAH campus. One of the university officials there told me that the engineering school has a better than 99% job placement rate. And these are engineering jobs, mind you, not just any job.

The Hunstville area seemed like a nice, growing area with plenty of job opportunities, and not just on the Arsenal. On the drive from my hotel to the campus, I passed by I don't know how many small engineering and technical firms. Plus, several local breweries have sprung up recently. And a new Cabela's. Heck I might even move there myself.

Nope, they are both at Auburn University. We’re (Mom & Dad) here in Madison County so I’m fairly certain they will return. I’m Texan by birth but it is a very nice area to raise a family.

IF you return . . . to the area for business or pleasure . .. .be sure and check out Straight To Ale. My husbands friend started this up a couple of years ago and it has grown and expanded facilities 3 times.

Hope you come back to Rocket City USA for a visit~!!!

It won’t be pork. It will be high quality engineering & science with many, many defense contractors, who are highly skilled and qualified for a more reasonable contract/labor cost vs. high markets like CA or WA State.

Just like with the automotive industry that is flourishing in TN, AL, SC & GA with the likes of Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, Kia & Hyundai . . . these states are COMPETING for manufacturing plants and it will be the same for defense contracts.

There is a big difference between Right To Work vs Union and the contracts and benefits to our government & military branches.

Okay, fair enough. It sounded like you were saying if the Senator for Alabama became SecDEF he would steer work to the state of Alabama which is fine for a Senator to do (represent the interests of their state) but not for a Secretary of Defense.

This area, is kinda like the Silicon Valley of the South. Yeah it isn’t CA with weather and Pacific Ocean but it is what it is.

And we’re used to a Secretary of Defense making hard decisions based on military decisions . . . worked on A12 in Fort Worth and canceled . . . 4K people laid off in one day same or more at our partner at McAir in St. Louis. Dick Cheney. We survived.

I met a gal on a trip to Springfield Missouri from Orange County. She and her husband own an internet company, can work from anywhere as long as they have high speed internet. She was on her way to the Branson area to buy a house, they had just sold their house in Orange County.
She was on the same flight back so I asked if she had any luck. She said.....I just paid cash for a 3000 square foot log home on 3 acres.

Lived in Compton and Lodi in California and 15 minutes from Huntsville Alabama. I’ll take Alabama any day. When I left California I didn’t leave anything I ever go back for.

You lived in Compton and Lodi? You ought to pick the places you live more wisely. But I'm glad for you that Alabama turned out to be better than Compton. I bet that was a big relief.
