Locke not concerned? Could it be thats because I read that he is not running for re-election up there, and stands to become a fat high-paid consultant instead?

Now main street’s whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain’t nobody wants to come down here no more
They’re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain’t coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown
Last night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I’m thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown

Speaking from China, where he was on a weeklong trade mission, Locke said many workers are expected to find jobs elsewhere...

LOL!

Well, if the 757's time has come, so be it. You cannot continue to build aircraft if they don't fit the mission.

Seat/mile efficiency is what it's all about, and the bigger and faster and fuller an aircraft can be used the better for the airlines. And appropriate sized aircraft for a route so it is mostly full everytime.

737 is $20 million cheaper? That'll help the bottom line.

No big conspiracy here, this is not jobs going over seas.
