Good job, journalists!
They have so many grounded 737s they’re having to park them in the employees’ parking lot.
I hope none of them runs over Boro’s car.
The 737 plant is in Renton and I work in Everett lol
So as long as it’s your union brothers & sisters being inconvenienced, it’s kewl with you?
It shouldn’t have happened in the first place… but obviously we have to deal with what’s set before us.

Curious about one thing Bromo, can anyone shut down production when a fuckup is found, like most car factories do now?
Yes, we can put a temporary hold or hard hold on anything. 99% of the time it’s used for lack of work, IE nose gear not fully installed when they try to move the airplane within the factory.
It’s per airplane, but the result is it halts the entire line if one airplane is waiting to move down.
If I am head of the whirl I am going to make a metal eater that is a mile in diameter to eat all the harleys at one time
I should consider shoving boeing junk in it also
But wait, there’s more!
I’m not an Aeronautical Engineer, but I did watch Airplane last night so I am somewhat of an expert myself, but that ‘pushing the plane down’ dealio that seems counter-intuitive.
My phone kept telling me to stop calling it Shirley.
I had apparently left it in Airplane mode.
Airplane bad.

Obviously you can’t speak Jive.
Not as well as you.
You ain’t no jive ass turkey.
According to Bloomberg this morning, Boeing outsourced the MCAS software to engineers they paid $9 an hour.
God bless the free hand of the market place to always take the stepping over dollars to save dimes approach.
If I read the article right, Honeywell designed it and THEY outsourced.
Boeing makes almost nothing for the airplane.
