Lomapaseo,

Unfortunately that is the problem for both manufacturers...the challenge now is for the next Single Aisle Airplane...if they want a profitable program, they need at least 60 planes a month 80 to 90 would be excellent. If you read the news...Boeing and Airbus are studying to get the production lines to 40-45 planes a month for next year...NEO is pushing that to 50-55 in the 2015 time frame....this would give the suppliers enough time to adjust their production lines...and cope with the demand...
