The rate they're going, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to set up a plant in Iran. Then they'll shake down the remaining employees in Washington for more pay cuts or threaten to move. Then they'll move anyway.

Just teasing. But I still think they won't go after Boeing . You know, 'job creators' and stuff like that.
