They started new factories in new states to try to break the unions in Seattle.

Boeing fleeing Seattle while trying to cheerfully pretend they're a "Washington company" was absolutely disgraceful

They moved their HQ to Chicago and then DC to focus on government contracts (they suck at those too), so "Washington company" is extra funny.

I mean, any company based in DC can call itself a Washington company.

Technically they also had offices in St Louis after the coup. The MD people moved to Chicago. And I hope every single one of them was a Cardinals fan.

...with resounding success:

> In 2019, following the discovery of exterior damage on planes manufactured in Charleston [the non-unionized factory], for a time Qatar Airways would only accept delivery of Dreamliners assembled in Everett [the unionized factory]. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_South_Carolina#Quality-...)

But then they moved all 787 production to North Charleston, so problem solved.

That better be some top shelf sarcasm.

It’s shameful what’s happened to Boeing. I worked there during the fall. After the bribery scandal, but before MD broke it. It was still okay-ish until they butchered their R&D dept. That’s not a healthy company.
