Reply #2: I know this is a risky question but do you think their actions would result in American jobs?

Frankly, I wouldn't care if a diplomat brokered a deal to get Boeing to "trick out" a king's airplane in order to help get Boeing a huge contract and put Americans to work. And if the Turkish astronaut was a braniac who was fully qualified then I ask, what's the harm?

There doesn't appear to be dirty dealings here that result in death from putting poorly manufactured planes in the air or some other such rotten business. Seems to me that getting a corporation the edge in competition that results in Americans keeping their jobs, I can't see too much that worries me.

But it all hinges on American jobs, imo.
