I guess they were impressed with the reception they received during the tankler competition. Not to mention the state tax breaks and low wages compared to Europe...and no paid 4 week vacations, etc.  Still, it wil be just a final assembly point, most high-value airframe pieces will still come from Europe. |

Alabama is a right to work state. I wonder what the Euro Union goons think about that? Airbus is pulling the rug out from under their own employee unions! |

   Refer back to some of my comments on this portion of the discussion on the KC-46 greased pig seduction and how touchy the workers in Europe are/were over the 787 program startup. |
