  Boeing's 757 move a 'punch in gut' at Renton
  The Boeing Co. announced plans to send 757 fuselage fabrication to Wichita and tapped an Italian company for other work on the 757 fuselage. The move will cut 500 Puget Sound jobs over two or three years.   Boeing unions worried about what's next
  Talk about moving wing production on the new 747X airplane to Japan and consolidating the company's Renton and Everett facilities has Boeing's unions on edge, particularly after this week's announcements.   Job losses at Boeing won't harm area, could help
  Four economists say the loss of 1,000 Boeing jobs here won't hurt the region, and two say the losses could actually benefit both the company and the Puget Sound area.   Boeing move unlikely to hurt Seattle trade status
  Boeing is the No. 1 U.S. exporter and its presence here has given Seattle international cachet. But observers agree that its contribution to Washington state trade should not be diminished as long as it builds and sells jetliners here.   Boeing chief Condit got 11% raise last year
  Timing is everything. The same day Boeing announced it would eliminate 500 production jobs in Renton, a regulatory fiding revealed the company chairman Phil Condit received $1.36 million in salary plus a $1.98 million bonus last year -- an 11 percent boost.
