Boeing's civilian aircraft are sold in Washington State, which, to put it mildly, is Boeing-friendly. Don't know if the move of the corporate headquarters to Chicago affected this, but really suspect that Boeing would not have moved its headquarters without similar arrangements. Ron Wanttaja |

IL ponied up more relocation assistance ( corporate welfare) than CO or TX and the BA executives wanted to be near the center of the US for travel purposes.
