The unit price of their 777s is closer to $250 million each.<br> <br> Remember that the next time someone whines about the price of a radar invisible bomber that can fly halfway around the world in any weather to deliver 30,000lbs of lovin' on anyone, no matter how well they are defended.<br> <br> Or more applicable today, what’s a supercruising, super agile, radar invisible, Mach 2+ fighter that, with air to air refueling, can fly halfway around the world to deliver 2000lbs of lovin’, or take out a dozen of the top enemy aircraft, worth, when high end cargo haulers go for $250 million? $130 million each ($350 million each for the full contract of 200 B-2s). isn’t so much when viewed in that light. That’s why the dp and msm never does and never will. <br> <br> As for unions, the only time I was ever told to slow down work, much less to half speed was on a teamsters’ loading dock. I thought for that kind of pay we should be busting our *sses (industry term, not profanity to me), and we didn’t even break a sweat. Ever since, I’ve supported non-union shops over union shops. I was a shoe in at either of the local GM plants (both since closed, no surprise to me), but I despised the UAW too much, and think too much of my self-respect and sanity.
