Aerospace giant Boeing has announced that it will soon cut their
Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) business and it’s bad news for
St Charles and
St Louis. Starting on October 1st, the aerospace giant will cut their six divisions to four, and reduce the staff at Missiles and Unmanned Airborne Systems, based in
St. Charles, Global Strike, based in
St Louis, Surveillance and Engagement, based in
Seattle and Mobility, which is based in

The cuts will be to 10 percent of BMA executive positions. Boeing expects more
