Boeing Waiting For Greek Decision

Boeing executives are nervously waiting for Greece to decide whether to buy up to 60 Boeing F-15 Eagle jet fighters for as much as $3.5 billion - a decision that will have a big impact on jobs and overall company profits.

Boeing’s jet-fighter business in St. Louis needs the order to help prevent a shutdown of the profitable F-15 production line.

The Greek government had been expected to make a fighter decision Friday, but it postponed the decision, citing the need to arrange financing.
