Thread: Safety of Flight - Boeing 787

A Definition of Outsourcing: "You're fired, now train your non-immigrant H-1B replacement and get the hell outta here!"

Hi Jimpasz,

http://seekingalpha.com/article/17727-b ... dreamliner

Partial List of what was outsourced:
USA, Wichita, Boeing - flight deck and fuselage
USA, Charleston, Global Aeronautica* - mid and rear section fuselage, tailplane
Canada, Winnipeg, Boeing – wings and fuselage fairings
Japan, Kawasaki – landing gear well, fixed wing section, forward fuselage
Japan, Handa, Fuji – center wing box
Japan, Nagoya, Mitsubishi – wing box
Australia, Boeing – moving leading/trailing wing edges
USA, Wichita, Spirit Aerosystems – nose
France, Latercore – passenger doors

Not so bad news - most on the list are allied countries.
Bad news - Communist China*
Unknowns - Mexico and India and number of H-1Bs*

*This is why the thread title is "Safety of Flight

Glad I don't fly.....
