The fact that Boeing is making this observation (as opposed to Kit Darby or a big flight school ) indicates that it may be based on some rational statistics.

But don't get too excited! The vast majority of those jobs will be overseas in places that don't hire Americans (Europe) or places that you might not want to live for long.

While there are always a few Americans willing to do the ex-pat thing, for most of us a US company is the only long-term option. Especially if you're married. Dubai is nice, but only for so long...
