Caution for Dysag, the Seattle PI traditionally wallows in pink journalism. They especially enjoy running down Boeing and deal in rumor and innuendo.
Udvar-Hazy has always been outspoken, rightly or wrongly, he is the customer.
Boeing relied on Supplier Partners, didn't work, in some cases. Some Tier 1's failed to "manage" their subs.
Obviously, new technology and new innovations, coupled with an ambitious schedule...(sound of trumpets) and you have schedule creep.
This will not detract from another fine Boeing product taking to the skies.
And no, I don't work for Boeing.
