Katherine Sopranos has extensive experience as a freelance writer and business manager, including six years working for Boeing Company as a communications specialist overseeing internal communication and media relations regarding Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. While Boeing has manufactured fighter jets since the early 1900s, the company is planning to devote more resources to other aircraft and may slow or shutter fighter jet production altogether by April 2015 due to reduced military spending requiring the company to adapt by cutting $4 billion from its defense unit since 2011.
2. Katherine Sopranos possesses a wealth of experience
as a freelance writer and business manager. For six
years, she worked for Boeing Company as a
communications specialist. While at Boeing,
Katherine Sopranos was in charge of directing
internal communication and media relations for any
matter regarding Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
Boeing has manufactured fighter jets since the early
1900s. In an article published in the Wall Street
Journal in September 2014, the head of the
company's defense unit admitted that it is planning
to devote more resources to the construction of other
aircraft.
3. Popular Boeing fighters such as the F/A-18 jets are still
in widespread use, but Boeing may slow production
in an effort to keep the F/A-18 line running for an
undisclosed period of time. Come April 2015, the
company may decide to shutter production of
fighters altogether.
Part of the reason for the possible shift in direction has
to do with changes to military budgets; as the military
reduces its spending, Boeing must adapt. The
company has cut its defense unit by $4 billion since
2011. Boeing representatives have yet to decide
what departments would fill the void should the
company cease production of fighter jets.
