From the WSJ:
Boeing will temporarily halt production of its 737 MAX jetliner in January, according to a person briefed on the matter, escalating the crisis confronting the aerospace giant and raising the prospect of job cuts and furloughs across the global aerospace industry.
Merry RifMas!
Did Boeing use India to write SW for its Starliner too?
More to follow as long cheap and unreliable Honeywell parts and old school technology are used in commercial aircraft’s.
From what I've read, that MCAS patch was flawed from the get-go. Sadly, those execs responsible for that bad design are not accountable. The poor workers and engineers will suffer. No execs at Boeing have been held accountable, afak.
The MAX problems are the direct result of Agile methodologies and low cost engineering.
Z21. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite a few Honeywell products on board the 737 Max. Seems highly likely the employees that support these products will be affected.

This will provide an excuse, similar to what happened after 9/11, for many things, not that they've needed one lately.
Since my location is moving south I would like a RIF.
Is that the sound of Champagne corks popping in Toulouse?
Bet they stick it to Honeywell now..
