Re: paper: Boeing Logo Guidelines for FRC Sponsored Teams 2009
I can't say Boeing is without fault on the 787 program, especially as an engineer working on the airplane and its derivatives. Regardless, I'm proud the company has recognized the value in FIRST and has joined many other national sponsors. Cheap shots, no matter how light-hearted, are not GP and are usually a bad idea when it comes to sponsors.

That being said, the FIRST@Boeing grants have nothing to do with unions (SPEEA or IAM). The funds came from the corporate level with backing from Engineering and Global Corporate Citizenship.

Allowing the logo on robots was a result of Boeing mentors letting the Communications/Marketing folks how silly the original policy was. Thankfully, they agreed.
