Dreamliner goes to Charleston

Boeing decided to pick Charleston, South Carolina for the second 787 Dreamliner production plant. According to the Everett Herald, the reasons likely include lower employee costs, tax incentives, and problems with the Machinists Union.

The average Machinist in SC earns about $14 an hour, roughly half of what the average Everett Machinist makes. Furthermore, the South Carolina Legislature passed a $170 million dollar tax incentive on Wednesday October 28th to land the production line.

According to the Everett Herald, the Charleston Boeing plant will get 1,000 direct manufacturing and flight-line jobs, engineering, management and support positions, and over 12,000 total direct and indirect jobs in South Carolina. Charleston will assemble three 787s a month, while Everett will make seven.

Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney believed that the 57-day work stoppage last fall damaged Everett's chances of landing the second production plant.
