In a startling fiasco between Boeing and the United States Air Force, a contract which was to replace 179 tankers worth $100 billion over the next 30 years was awarded to a foreign company (Air Bus) in Europe.
Boeing and members of Congress are absolutely livid and waiting to be debriefed about how the decision was made and under what criteria. Opponents say that many jobs in America were depending on the contract which was assumed to be handed to Boeing.
According to an article on CNN over the issue:
The company says a win would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at Boeing and more than 300 suppliers in more than 40 states.
