Boeing chooses S.C. for new 787 assembly line
North Charleston wins out over Seattle-area plant

SEATTLE - Boeing Co. will open a second assembly line for its long-delayed 787 jetliner in South Carolina, expanding beyond its longtime manufacturing base in Washington state to take advantage of economic incentives and a nonunion work force.

The Chicago-based airplane maker said Wednesday it chose the site in North Charleston over Everett, Wash., because it best suited plans to boost production of the highly anticipated jet, designed to carry up to 250 passengers.

Perhaps an excuse for an AS flight to South Carolina? (Boeing traffic)

Especially after the tax breaks and deals WA gave for the first assembly line.

Time for WA to stop bending over for the Lazy B
