Just another Obama plan to bring America down to his Kenyan level. This is what he specializing in doing.The Associated Press traces Airbus' popularity to the fuel efficiency of its A320neo, a twin-engine airliner comparable to Boeing's 737. Maybe. But there might be another factor: Boeing's inability to deliver.
In 2008, an eight-week strike among Boeing's unionized workers delayed the delivery of as many as 80 planes and hindered development of Boeing's 787, a twin-engine midsize airliner that will burn 20% less fuel than other aircraft in its class.
Thanks to the strike, initial deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner were postponed by more than a year, according to regulatory filings by American Airlines, one of Boeing's affected customers.
To dilute the risk of future obstructions, Boeing built a $750 million plant in North Charleston, S.C., to assemble about 30% of its 787 Dreamliner fleet. Jim Albaugh, a Boeing executive, told the Seattle Times last year that the company, which has also added 2,000 workers in Washington to build the 787 — decided to locate a plant in right-to-work South Carolina because "we can't afford to have a work stoppage every three years."
Unwilling to let a private company freely run its business, the Obama administration, through its appointees on the National Labor Relations Board, is trying to block the South Carolina option. The NLRB has sued Boeing, claiming its North Charleston plant is an illegal retaliation against government-coddled — the last two words are ours — unions.
It's much easier to bring down, or destroy, than to build. Of course Obama has never built anything.
Too bad America hasn't caught on yet.
But then again, it took the Jews a while too.
