Ted, thanks for the article, but I still think you're overreacting.

This is nothing more than a dispute over the boundaries of B-1 visas and how they're being applied to foreign engineers collaberating with their American counterparts.

Besides, according to the article no more than 250 engineers from Moscow visited Seattle to do work at any one time.

The SPEEA union, of course, has a vested interest in making it difficult for Boeing to work with their Moscow design center. They ought to join the 21st century, where any huge engineering project is going to be a collaberative effort across design centers in many different countries.

Intel, for instance, relies heavily on design centers in Israel and India for CPUs. They do good work. It's not (just) a cost-saving measure, or else AMD would do it as well.
