From The Herald (Everett, Wash.) comes an interesting take on the keys to Boeing winning the $30-billion Air Force contract that the Gufl Coast region needed so badly. Everett is the home to Boeing’s facility that builds the 747, 767, 777 and 787 Dreamliner production lines.
These are the keys that the Herald reporter writes gave Boeing the contract:
1. A successful appeal
2. Favorable contract requirements
3. Faster assembly
4. American soil
5. Need for jobs
6. Powerful allies
