Eye watering

The Boeing stock price was -6% down at last time of checking. No doubt the analysts will be trying to get some view of the likely delay to the production schedule.

Once that figure is known based upon the reality of the technical/engineering issues that Boeing faces then one might expect a couple more airlines to make a decision about baling or staying in or invoking penalty clauses in the existing contracts.

One shudders to think of the daily burn rate on a programme this large. I am sure they will be burning the midnight oil down at Everett and stress and antacid pills will be issued free to all departments.

How on earth can you move this thread to spotters corner when the subject is probably the one technology project currently under the world spotlight.
This one's all over the place. There is another thread relating to 787 schedule slippage on DG&P. Oh well, one might get a fresh approach down here in Spotters Corner. One thing's for sure, nobody is going to be spotting the 787 any time soon!
