"I tell you this, I personally would not trust any engineer working for me on minimum wage...."

I don't think you have to worry about that. As I've mentioned before, workers here on an H1B visa must be paid the prevailing wage for a particular job. I doubt that the "prevailing wage" for an engineer working at Boeing is the minimum wage.

>> Ted, my guess is that Boeing sees a particular skill set that these Russian engineers bring to the corporation.

Sure can't see any other reason for it.

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

That's Boeing's typical MO. It could be the Russians have a particular set of skills but I bet you it has to do more with money. I will ask one of the Boeing guy's at my gym and see if he knows.
