Boeing reached a tentative deal with over 30,000 union workers.
It includes a commitment to build Boeing's next airplane in the Seattle area.
That matches up with Boeing's new CEO's plans to be based at the planemaker's historic home.

Boeing's new CEO chalked up another win with Sunday's tentative union deal, but one detail stands out most: the commitment to building its next airliner in the Seattle area.
