"Boeing is going to reduce outsourcing, they have learned their lesson"

"The 787 production rate is planned to double from five jets per month to 10 per month by year end."

"Boeing said Friday it will lay off some 800 machinists by the end of this year as workforce needs on its newest jet programs, the 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 jumbo jet, are reduced.
Company spokesman Doug Alder said that other reductions will be made through attrition so that the total number of positions cut this year will be between 2,000 and 2,300."
