You're no wrong, but the folks in South Carolina were (supposedly) specifically told not to try to get people from the PNW area to transfer because management didn't want union-leaning individuals coming into the new plant.

They seem to be explicitly preferring to sacrifice quality control to keep (higher-paid?) experienced union folks out. Presumably to help their bottom line.

If I was a Boeing customer I'm not sure I'd like seeing quality control being a secondary consideration of hundred of millions of dollars of my money.
