Where you a Boeing guy? My dad worked there 39 years, started right after the Korean Conflict. I started in Renton as a 727 final assembly mechanic in 1978. Served a machinist apprenticeship with Boeing Aerospace at Plant II and went on from there.
We can thank Uncle Phil and Uncle Harry, the company went from an engineering firm to a cost driven one after the merger.
There is a book out that covers the story, Flying Blind by Peter Robison.
