Dude.........don't kid yourself. I work for the company and easily the 737 is at 65% vended out to contractors ALL over the world. A Boeing airplane is NOT trueley American made. It is American assembled. We get parts everyday from Spain, Australia, Malaysia. Indonesia, Korea.........who know's where else. On a daily basis...we have to rework alot of stuff because the quality of the parts are not up to Boeing and FAA standards. The entire body section is made by another company. Look at the 787. The only thing that Boeing builds is the tail section and some interior stuff. The entire 787 wing is made in Japan by Kawasaki heavy industries and flown over here in a huge 747 transport plane. The body sections are made over seas and also flown here in the same transport plane. And yet our government wants to give a military contract for the 767 tankers to Airbus and not Boeing. Why would our own government give a military contract to a foriegn country? Why should we employ people outside our country when jobs in this country is a big problem?
