Ted, my guess is that Boeing sees a particular skill set that these Russian engineers bring to the corporation. These skills cannot easily be found among experienced engineers in America because even American corporations have a "uniquely American way" of doing things which can be both good and bad. And obviously they can't be found among the recent college graduates since engineering is less academic and more experience-based compared to most other professions requiring a college degree. But hey, it's possible that these Russian engineers are being hired on the cheap, and that's a way for Boeing to save a few pennies. I never worked for Boeing and I have little insight into their corporate culture. But given the hassles involved with work visas, immigration, customs, and Homeland Security, those Russians would have to work for minimum wage to make it all worthwhile. I tell you this, I personally would not trust any engineer working for me on minimum wage, even if that happened to be much more than he or she could earn back at the home country. Tenchusatsu
