Was the 737 produced in SC?
Serious question- how many employees will be impacted?
No rumors, please. Only if someone has inside information.
As usual the IAM is hiding behind Boeing’s skirt on this move.
I’m not going, fսck Boeing
Moving Day
While they’re at it they can move the Max to the AMARG Arizona facility.
Ah did someone let it slip that there are 861 airframes that need repair
Or I should say need to be done right.
What do the share holders think of that?
It's never been a better time to enroll in votec and become an AMT Mechanic. This STEM career is in high demand for BEERS to come. BLAH BLAH BLAH. It was all a lie. Sue the company for your loss of time and then some . They gave Mullie 62 million
buyout? Make sure to get your piece of the pie. This place is a farce!
Good For Boeing, move the 787 to Charleston in order to flush-out
10,000 more skilled aerospace workers, destroying the U.S. infrastructure for
Manufacturing and More…
But Hey!!!
It will be a lot cheaper to repair all 861 Dreamliners in S.C.; that will at least
Slow the bankruptcy of what was one of this countries most respected
engineering firm, prior to it becoming a Wall Street Nickel & Dime Business.
- F.Y.B.
No sh– it was supposed to have gone back in 2017 but they had a surge of orders and kept it open.
BYE BYE c-appy Lego Liner
Wonder if they’ll rename the economy section to the cousin f**cker section
I still think they should turn at least part of the Everett plant into something like indoor water slides or indoor paint ball or into indoor go-kart tracks. Or roller coasters. Give my fellow employees something to do when their cell phones are charging.
I'd like to be the first to congratulate the IAM on finally bleeding the companynso dry that they chose to move work out of the PNW.
You can say they owe you a larger hourly wage and huge benefits but you failed to understand how much leverage you had. Yes, you can bargain but if you push to far, you lose more than you would have by settling.
You can blame the company and for sure they have some blame in it, but when you overplay your hand, you also have some blame.
Congrats to the IAM you successfully lost jobs for your members.
There goes our jobs. I bet SC is happy to get this work😃

Pontifications: Boeing SC makes its case for 787 production consolidation
And it favors Everett
Boeing’s CEO, David Calhoun, said on the 2Q2020 earnings call in July
that a study is underway to decide whether to consolidate 787 production
in one location. From a pure dollars-and-cents standpoint,
it makes sense to do so. With the production rate falling to 6/mo next year,
keeping two lines open is problematic.
But there are larger issues. There’s the overhead cost allocation at
Everett assigned to the 787 line. The remaining 747, 767/KC-46A and 777
lines must absorb these costs. The 747 line closes in 2022
and the 777-X won’t deliver until the same year.
The 777 line is going to a rate of just 2/mo.
Reallocating costs from the 787 line (and the closing 747 line)
to the 767/777 lines will likely put the entire Everett plant into
a loss-making position. (Boeing warned in its 2Q quarterly filing declining
production rates could put the 777X and 787 into a forward loss position.)
Keeping customers happy with high quality airplanes upon delivery
is important, and Boeing SC falls short on this.
Finally, keeping Puget Sound’s supply chain healthy
(or at least in survival mode) is also important.
Boeing SC proved over and over and over again that it’s not up to the task
of having full responsibility for the 787 program.
For the long-term health of the program—and the company—
splitting assembly between the two sites makes the most sense,
despite short-term losses.
Boeing’s Management Is Not Up To The Task of Management
If it were we would not have
The Tanker Boondoggle
The Dreamliner Fiasco
The Max Fraud
The Starliner Debacle
The FAA can only babysit so much of our failing operations.
The entire Board of Directors needs to be replaced with pro active Professionals.
The current board of absentee goofballs need to serve their time in prison,
20 years sounds about right.
Great, let’s put the 787 on the do not fly list together with the 737 flying coffin.

I believe market watch released an article basically a mirror of this.
You could also link to it. I know that would be asking too much of you though, after all, you are a Boeing employee.
WSJ hard up for clicks so then send shills out to drive traffic
WSJ — please buy for garbage, Boeing please buy our junk
Ғat drunk and sҭupid is no way to go through life
Oh, sorry I forget, IAM union members and management get a free pass.
