Uhhh, I hate to burst bubbles, but being a machinist for Boeing doesn't necessarily mean your a machinist.You could be a just a riveter.I do machine parts for Boeing, outside contractor, and they have gotten rid of a good share of their own in house stuff, however, due to the 787 debacle, some is coming back in house.The Machinist side of things is assembly, SPEEA are the engineers, which are due for their 4 yr strike cycle. I do believe, and I may be wrong, that particular ad was centered around the several orders for 767's they just recieved. That is built in Everett and Renton.
After slowing some production lines because of the recession, Boeing announced it would speed up its 737, 777 and 747 programs next year.It also plans to increase production of its long-delayed 787 jetliner
