Jammed stab,
The article talks about the talks with IAM751, it does not mention the State also is contributing over 7 billion to the project to keep it in the State.
Sunamer,
Boeing is saying it will not break even on the 787 project until 1000+ deliveries. They are talking about breaking even on a production basis this year, I.e. the 300 odd 787s built so far cost more to build than they sold them for.
