Was just looking at their job listings recently - a lot of the software jobs are in India. I don't know if they're flight software positions or just database/website stuff, but it still surprised me.

On a side note, if anyone is looking for all-around engineers, including software/electrical/mechanical stuff, feel free to shoot me a message.

How in the world does one hire $9 an hour software engineers?

> Still, for the 787, HCL gave Boeing a remarkable price – free, according to Sam Swaro, an associate vice president who pitched HCL’s services at a San Diego conference sponsored by Avionics International magazine in June. He said the company took no up-front payments on the 787 and only started collecting payments based on sales years later, an “innovative business model” he offered to extend to others in the industry.
