So Boeing is leaving. Get used to it. Boeing would make their airplanes in China if they thought they could get away with it. Making money is the name of the game. Boeing has been in Seattle since year one but has begun serious outsourcing of it's workforce the last few years. Especially with their second line of 787's going to Charleston SC. When and if the line gets up and running and they can compare costs exactly for what it costs to make them in Seattle or Charleston then there will be no doubt about remaining in Seattle where Boeing began. The rest or Boeing will go too. Of course it is going to cost Boeing hugely to set up the second line but the chance to make money is worth the risk. Local Union members whine that Charleston doesn't have the reservoir of skilled workers that Seattle has but that is nonsense. Boeing either fired their skilled work force, or they are on unemployment so that is not much of a factor any more.
Have a nice day
