Aircraft mechanics at the former Boeing plants in Tulsa and McAlester will vote Thursday on a proposed four-year contract with the new owner of the plants.

Onex Corporation bought those plants from Boeing in a $1.2-billion deal. Onex renamed them Mid-Western Aircraft Systems.

There are about 700 workers covered by the Oklahoma contract proposal.

The vote comes after machinists at the Wichita plant approved a contract offer last Saturday.
