The gov't bent over backwards to cater to these EADS guys and, in the process, stung Boeing.

Boeing deserves a fair shot here.

and blew it. They then cry foul and get it reopened. By the way, SPidiot, Northrop/Grumman is an american company. They are the ones getting screwed by this farce. The workers at N/G are Americans. They are also getting screwed,so screw you, EssPee.

Not that it matters who gets the contract,reality has it that all aircraft builders go for the cheapest way pf production.Boeing is no different.In following link see where they get their parts for the 787.I think it is no different for other aircraft types .Wht counts for the mis the profit,and the profit only .Your workers,our workers,unemploymant will only be used as argument to promote profit,not employmant.
