OT on BA, I have an office that is kitty corner to what use to be BCS (Boeing Computer Services). Middle level management is completely frustrated with the direction and lack of leadership from the top. Deadlines for personell decisions keep getting put off. X number of pink slips were supposed to go out 2 weeks ago, x-75% actually went out. Next year is primed to be a huge production year, but they will be laying off large numbers while negotiating contracts. Morale is very, very low, but not the worst I have seen. I have never followed the stock, and have no opinion, but periodically someone will be high on BA, so I thought I'd share what type of environment it is right now. best wishes, gene
