NAGPUR: Aircraft manufacturing major Boeing, which has announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide this year in view of the global economic crisis, would not lay-off employees in India, a top company official has said.

Though the global economic recession has already hit several sectors, Boeing announced the job cut while declaring its annual financial results a few days ago, Boeing Senior Vice-President Dinesh Keskar said here.

He ruled out any job cuts for now in India, a key market for the Chicago-based company that makes passenger, freight and military planes.

Keskar, however, said Boeing has orders for supplying 3,700 aircraft, worth USD 275 billion, to various airline companies across the world. It will take at least five years for the company to fulfil the business commitment.

11. what nonsense

Whatever happened to charity begins at home? If america can get strong than we can help everyone else in the world.

[StreetKnowledge]

12. 3700 aircraft orders, and they are cutting jobs?

Boy, I bet the airlines who have put down deposits like that idea. Morons.

Boeing, if you want to layoff people, make sure you keep all those guys in Evertt and Renton working, OK?

[McCamy Taylor]

14. You are missing the point. The corporate media is trying to scare workers away from unions

by predicting that all the jobs will go overseas if people dare to join unions here at home. But that will not happen.

[Le Taz Hot]

23. They've been singing the same tune

for so long it no longer has credibility since all the jobs went overseas anyway. People just don't believe it anymore.

The article says the Sr. VP ruled out any job cuts "for now". (wonder what that means?)
