Surely that depends on the take up? If more people apply for these jobs than there are vacancies, then Boeing can pick those with the greatest experience.
I do get where you are coming from though. Despite agreeing with most of what Maninthebar says about employment trends, I can’t help but think that the very best engineers are in stable, full time employment and certainly not looking for temporary, if well paid work, therefore Boeing will be recruiting from a ‘B team’ pool of candidates.
