#2 Sedition? Boeing made their bed by trying to corrupt the military. Ask where is their former CFO.

#3 Boeing got what it deserved:

1) their previous bid was a winner only because they corrupted and bribed Air Force officials.

2) The B767 is a plane near the end of its time. They were putting up an older, smaller, slower plane with less lift and range against the A330.

3) Washington's (state of) loss is Alabama's gain.
