SEATTLE – Boeing Co., the world’s second-largest airplane maker, is planning to cut about 3 percent of its work force as jetliner demand falls, hurt by the global economic downturn.
The Chicago-based company on Friday said it expects to cut about 4,500 positions from its passenger jet business, which has factories in the Seattle area. Many of the cuts will be in areas not directly associated with aircraft production.
The news comes a day after Boeing reported a 15 percent decline in passenger jet deliveries for 2008, when it faced an eight-week strike by union workers and shrinking airline demand. The lower deliveries ensured Boeing’s archrival, Europe’s Airbus, retained its rank as the world’s top plane maker.

SD TransplantParticipantI forgot to add that prices were significantly higher at the Gun Show this time….way highers (most likely the crazy demand)

SD TransplantParticipantI went to the Del Mar Gun Show this weekend. I go about once/twice a year. I haven’t seen so many attendents. The parking lot was just about full at 10 AM, and the shoppers were already coming out with crates of amo (thousands of rounds not playing around). Once inside, between the hoards of people, there were lines of buyers for the assault type guns (AR15s and SKSs).
I knew that gun sales were up, but I tell you, it was a sight to see…..I could barely walk through the crowds.
They were plenty of buyers not just lookers. The gun makers must love this uncertain econ-politico times.
This might be the one sector that’s booming (even after Obama’s election).
