Boeing Company (BA)

[Jetmek_03052]

Most of the workers I've seen quoted in the articles about the strike are on the younger side. Probably have families and have very little saved up. These guys better think about what would happen if Boeing went out. There's not a lot of aircraft manufacturers out there. Most of the workers are probably not federally certified mechanics, that can get a job working on other aircraft.

They're absolutely batsh*t crazy if they think they can force Boeing into agreeing to reviving pensions. And that sounds exactly like what some of the older workers want.

Wait another 2 weeks. Boeing is ripping through cash but I think they can last as long as they need to, until there's an agreement. And if the workers don't knuckle under? Then Boeing might fold - and everyone will lose. The entire country will lose.
