My stepmom was the one I was having the conversation with. My mom is a trophy wife who sells commercial real estate for fun, she doesn't work for her wealth very hard. So she can go on vacations to random countries every year, she sells shopping centers and such, but her friend is 75% of the operation. She goes to lunch with people who are interested in investing and talks them into it. She brings in the money, he does the investing. Good for her that she can bring in a half a mill per year working maybe 60 days a year.

My stepmom worked for an airline company for 10 years or so along with very successful network marketing career. Now she is a corperate flight attendant and does an amazing job and works for her money. I respect my stepmom more (I still repsect my mom, don't worry) than my mom because my stepmom works hard for her money.

My stepmom and I talked about it more and she now thinks that Virgin Airlines should become part of the US domestic flight industry because the customer service is crap. Overseas flight attendants actually care about how your flight is (there are some good ones, but alot of bad ones too).

My viewpoint on all this is that if it is cheaper, outsource so you can stay competitive and don't post 12 billion dollars in losses. Toyota is providing alot of jobs to Americans as they have one of the biggest automotive plants in the US, outsourcing from Japan to America... Along with staying competitive, it also provides for someone else less fortunate. If we had Greenspan back working for the Federal Reserve still we could probably outsource 90% of our jobs lol, jk...
