Illinois lawmakers urge Boeing not to sell aircraft to Iran

WASHINGTON — Three Republican congressmen from Illinois are urging the chief executive of Chicago-based Boeing to avoid doing business with Iran and to not sell aircraft to upgrade its fleet.

The lawmakers told Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in a letter sent Monday that commercial-aviation sales to Iran would subsidize a country that continues to be a leading sponsor of terrorism.

“We urge Boeing — in the strongest possible terms — not to do business with Iran until it ends its support for terror,” wrote Reps. Peter Roskam, Robert Dold and Randy Hultgren.

Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter.
The company has offered Iranian airlines three models of new aircraft to replace the country’s aging aircraft fleet, the Islamic Republic’s state-run news agency reported in April.

I doubt Boeing will give a dang.

I would place a small wager on the proposition that none of the three legislators in question has ever had a real job. They should be tossed out on their asses and disqualified from ever taking a dime from the taxpayers for the rest of their lives.
