FACT: If Boeing wins the contract for America's new Air Force tanker, approximately 50,000 jobs for Boeing and its supply base will be created and supported here in the United States.
FACT: If Airbus wins the contract, a vast majority of the work will be done in France, Germany, Spain, and other European countries with only a small percentage of the work done in final assembly in the United States.
FACT: Boeing invented boom refueling 60 years ago and leads the world in state-of-the-art aerial refueling technology.
FACT: Airbus has never delivered a boom equipped operational tanker to a customer.
FACT: Boeing's tanker would be built at existing plants in the United States. Airbus has not broken ground on its promised Alabama-based tanker plant.
FACT: Boeing has over 151,000 employees in all 50 states. Most recent numbers show that Airbus has about 2,000 employees in the United States.
FACT: Boeing supports an additional 1.2 million supplier related jobs in the United States.
FACT: In 2003, the U.S. Department of Commerce found that Airbus had exaggerated its American job creation claims, claiming at least three times as many American suppliers as it actually had.
