Ok.. So what you are admitting here is that the projected loss of 48,000
jobs made in 1998 in actuality was 46,900 jobs lost.

Looks to me that 1,100 projected job losses were actually saved.

So I gather you took the projection to be fact and when pressured you
proved
your own fact wrong.


Wow. I was off by a whopping 2%. You sure got me there.



If you look further into this story you have referenced, you will see that
Boeing had a slow year in 1997, delivering only 375 airplanes, they then
announced payroll reduction and terminations to meet that end

Sure they did.

Boeing hired more than 25,000 engineers in 1998. They got rid of almost
twice that many in 1999 and 2000.

Trying to blame cuts in 1999 and 2000 on the 1993 WTC attack is downright
comical...especially when in the next breath you discount the effect of the
9/11/01 attack.

My dad has been a supplier to the aircraft industry for nearly 40 years.
Boeing and Sikorsky are his two biggest accounts. My brother worked for
Boeing at the exact time in question. I think I know a little bit more
about this than you. But if you insist on keep making an ass of yourself,
please don't let me stop you.
