Thank you so much. You have given me a true spiritual uplift in that for
once I can see management as being on the right side of the equation and not
the kinds of upes we see at GM. I admire Boeing, in spite of the problems,
as one of the US's greatest example of overall excellence. Look at them...
standing alone against a European consortium of socialistic money and
against every US labor regulation and insane environmental and OSHA rules
still staying on top of the pyramid.

Thanks!

Standing alone with the aid of $2Billion per year in government subsidies!
Your tax dollars at work, a triumph of free market lobbying :-)

And with all that money they still can't manage to convert to the measurement
systems that the rest of the industrialised world uses. Quite sad really.

RTFM
Its not that simple unfortunately,
Its not about conversion to what every one else in the industrial world
uses.
Its about all the suppliers of everything to Boeing, for example, all
the US nut and bolt makers, screw makers wire and plug makers etc that
supply the majority of US customers.
It would need for the whole of whats left of the US manufacturing base
to change all their manufacturing machinery and cnc programmes to suit
who?s requirements? They dont need to at the moment.
It will never happen.
