Boeing Slams ‘Questionable’ Airbus Deal to Make Bombardier CSeries Jets in Alabama

Boeing late Monday dismissed a deal between Airbus and Bombardier to make CSeries jets in Alabama, calling it an attempt to dodge import duties recommended by the U.S. Commerce Department following the U.S. airplane maker’s trade complaint.

"This looks like a questionable deal between two heavily state-subsidised competitors to skirt the recent findings of the U.S. government," a Boeing spokesman said.

"Our position remains that everyone should play by the same rules, for free and fair trade to work."

Crony capitalism swings both ways, Boeing.  You wanted protectionism, you got it.   But the wealth transfer you wanted from the American consumer to you, is going to go to others...including the unions.  Brilliant!
