You Hear this all the time
Another person talking out of their a-s have no clue what goes into Aircraft industry
Just what do you think spending 100's of billions of dollars to move and hire, train over 33K
people and get production back up just to save a few hundred million in wages would do exactly? Does doing that even make sense considering that the one wonderful magic nonunion assembly plant in SC can't build a plane after ten years of trying?
They tried that by moving the 787/9 &-10's to South Carolina. Customers don't want planes delivered from there and Everett has quite a few planes requiring rework that came from there. Years back Al Jezeera had a report outlining other challenges there.
If the company really wanted to save money they should pull the plug on SC, cut their loses and return the 787 to Everett where it belongs.

My brown hole speaks more truth than your pie hole poster. Vote No!!
IAM 751 going to Al Jezeera for news and citations
This explains a lot.
Considering the low quality job of the manufacturing workers at Boeing, from leaving trash inside the wings of the tanker project, to beer cans, I think retraining would be quick and easy and result in a higher quality than the current employees provide.
Please make the next gen airplane somewhere else, it is lunacy to stick around where these greedy and lazy workers can put a whole company’s financial future to at risk. Better strategy is needed to turn this company around and it starts with moving production elsewhere.
Boeing executives will walk away with a boat load of money in the end and the little people will be left penniless. Vote no!!!
Years ago, Boeing started setting up a second 737 production line in Long Beach Calif, I believe it was. Then Boeing suddenly halted work and never completed it. The fact that Boeing was willing to even risk setting-up a new 737 production line for their best selling plane to be built by mechanics from McDonnell Douglas in Long Beach who were unfamiliar with the plane says all you need to know about Boeing leadership decisions. Since it happened before it can easily happen again.
Boeings going to spite the Machinist union. Boeing will wait one day past the contract expire date to name the location the next new Boeing airplane will be built at and it’s not going to be Everett or Renton that comes of Boeing leaders mouths.
The Machinist union is being played by Boeing leaders with fake promises that the new plane will be built in WA state.

Complete incorrect and propaganda...

Well, if you think the 737 replacement will be built in Renton then "YOU" have no clue what goes into the Aircraft industry.
Updating the Renton facility to modern assembly techniques especially while phasing out the ancient 737 is not even close to a possibility.
