No, Boeing left and will not even consider California.

Same reasons as before but multiplied many times

Hopefully, those in charge at Boeing will have enough business sense to steer clear of any additional presence in CA. If not, I may dump my Boeing stock.

Kalifornia will land Boeing when the earth explodes into outer space.

Well Boeing moved their corporate HQ’s from WA to Chicago a few years back, to get tax breaks, and Chicago is going to be filing BK in the next year or two- I bet Boeing are regretting that (tax saving??Not!) move right now…..

To see how this will play out, examine how the City and constituency welcomed BNSF – when they announced the intermodal yard. This project solves infinitely more problems that it created – yet the city and people declared total war.

Ha! I don’t see SoCal as a viable choice. Between the AQMD, the City of Long Beach, airport noise restrictions, UAW local 148, tax rates, and the elderly age of all these “tenured” experts, there’s not a chance.

The only reason most of the fab work was done here was because the older local machine shops were “grandfathered” exempt from ordinances. Since the industry folded and left, all these grandfathered shops have shut down, never to return.

Hard to believe that Cal’s role in the negotiations isn’t to drive the “cost of landing” up among the states that Boeing has on the preferred lists. Cal asks them to hire 20 percent illegals, and pay for them to move their entire extended families here.
