SEATTLE, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) will send

60-day notices in mid-November to staff being made redundant as

part of a plan announced last week to cut 17,000 jobs at the

debt-laden planemaker, an engineering union spokesperson and one

industry source said on Monday.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifications, which

give workers 60 days notice prior to ending their employment,

will be issued to thousands of employees in Boeing's ( BA ) commercial

aviation division, who will then leave the company in

mid-January, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
