I am led to understand that the International Association of Machinists, the labor union that represents Boeing's factory workers, will be holding a rally in support of the 767 tanker bid. Why didn't they think of that before?

Originally posted by Harlequin67There appears to me to be only one party to blame for Boeing not winning the contract, and that is Boeing.
Originally posted by Harlequin67I believe that Boeing may have been hamstrung by the 767 being a smaller airframe, and the 777 being too large. The A330 may have sat very happily between the two Boeing products.
Originally posted by Harlequin67I think Boeing are also guilty of complacency. They may have thought that this type of contract could never be given to Airbus. I would refer them to the Marine 1 replacement program being won by the EH101. I think this sends a clear signal to American companies, Lockheed, Boeing, etc, that they need to provide equipment at a cost that has the same ability as European goods.

Originally posted by tsvI don't think Boeing can be "blamed" for not winning the contract. It was obvious from the start they would only win if it was considered buying "Made in the USA" was more important than the quality of the product. If the decision was to be made primarily on the grounds of product quality they were never going to have a snowflakes chance in hell.
