I also noticed that you never replied to the comments about Boeing using Italian and German frames on their Airplanes.

scubadude you must live in Seattle - I understand that you think this will outsource 30,000 jobs to France and that is not true - Have you read any of the information about the 49 states that would benefit from this being in Mobile?  Or did you just read Boeing saying that it would lose all of these jobs.  So does this mean that Boeing is now going to layoff 30,000 workers I don’t think so.  And right now Boeing is not even able to keep up with orders that they have for commercial jets how in the world do you think that they could produce these planes by 2013 and actually have a large number ready not 10 like they are saying - Airbus as said that it will have 49 planes ready by 2013.  Yes Boeing has been building planes for the past 50 years for the airforce but it looks like if they did win the contract it would take them the next 50 years to actually deliver the planes.

A men on that part about allstate!They pulled that on me a number of years ago.“if i didn’t increase my policy coverage or additional insurance,i would be dropped”.I caved in and did both and that didn’t stop the premiums from raising,they just pushed me into not being able to afford any.Being retired ,i could not afford $2000 ayear home owners and $1070 for flood insurance.the only time i ever was flooded was due to katrina and i wasn’t covered.It’s been two years now with no insurance,and $6000 i haven’t payed them.But it’s a gamble i would rather not take,but i don’t have any other options at this time.Be careful and don’t gamble if you have other options.I think i kept my policies with them for over 30 years.

i see the good citizens of alabama have sold their soul for a few jobs. bottom line our tax dollars going to france for our security. the french union at airbus is already screaming about outsourcing their jobs to america to produce these tankers.
airbus has thrown alabama a few crumbs, the 30,000 jobs will be in france. nice to know our defense is at the whim of the french unions (these unions have shut down transportation several times in the past few years- shutting down the whole country).

the population of mobile 400,000 is less than 1% of the u.s. population, hell let’s count all of alabama 4,600,000 is 1.5% of the u.s. population. if a poll were taken how many of rest of us would like the 30 billion of go to france? i do not think you will find any support for this deal outside of mobile .

the reason i stumbled on this web site is the lack of news coverage anywhere but alabama. as the facts become known, there will be a ground swell of negative reaction set to congress.

Ok now please write Allstate a letter telling them to stop breaking the law in Alabama by cancelling all the homeowners polices when they don’t have car or life insurance.  Thank you for trying to do your job.  This is the first thing I have ever heard of you doing.

Go get’em BIG JIM JR! Tell them like it is and that as far as we know we haven’t seceded from the union of states again.We are not a foreign country.
