Didn't Boeing move its headquarters to Chicago years ago?
BINGO someone has it right.
300 engineering jobs moving from WA to SoCal does not equate to Boeing leaving WA.
But it is another attempt for employee take aways. Too bad some of those take aways aren't coming from Jimbo McNerney who is the first CEO to ever deliver an Airplane not only late but 3 years late. Even at that he got what a 20 million dollar boneass. But the company just can't afford many employee benefits any more. Just ask Jimbo.
Boeing's headquarters has been in Chicago since 2001. I remember when they were talking about moving it and the DFW area was in contention. The talk at the time was that they chose Chicago because of Lake Michigan and how it would cater better to the executives with the large boats as a replacement somewhat for Puget Sound.
The fact is when bOEING paid McDougal Dauglass to take them over a large number of the McDougal share holders wanted the HQ in Chitcago because it was closer to them and would cut their travel to share holder meeting. When the dust all settled McDougal share holders owned the greatest share of bOEING. Not a bad scam if you can get a company to pay you for buying them out. Plus pay to upgrade most of you're behind the times computing technology you have neglected for ten years.
