A little perspective on the 787 rate - they're dropping from 14/month to 12/month, which is still the highest production rate for any widebody.
Could Boeing restart production?
Now, there is an important point that this argument hangs on. Boeing wrapped up building passenger 767s back in 2012… but they have kept building freight 767s up until today. This means they are still building the same airframes, ordering the same engines and still have the same expertise onboard. An additional advantage is that the 767 is an existing plane; it is already FAA approved, tested and requires no additional training.
Now, a simple question would be, could Boeing restart production?
