Boeing Airplanes CEO: No more engineering jobs leaving Washington state [View all]
Yes and the check's in the mail.
Washington state is projected to have 8 percent fewer aerospace jobs by 2020, but Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner said that won't be because the company sends jobs out of state.
Conner spoke in a rare interview with the Seattle Times, and defended Boeing (NYSE: BA) against accusations it has taken a hard line with unions and held Washington jobs hostage. The Machinists, for example, agreed to massive reductions in pension benefits in exchange for Boeing building the new 777X in Everett.
He reportedly admitted the company's decision to transfer 6,000 engineering jobs out of state was handled poorly, but said Boeing's new facility in Everett was creating hundreds of jobs.
