Strike Boeing employees

Post by fc82091 »

According to luchtvaartnieuws (dutch) 27000 boeing employees going on strike starting today
which would cost the plane maker about $100 million in revenue per day
I guess this means new delays for the 787 and 777F
or... how unions can bankrupt a company :roll:

They should strike a bit longer than just some weeks. Good for us Europeans.
It would make the government in Washington clear that if they would like to have new tanker planes to replace > 30 year old coffins, they would have to stay with the Airbus option.
Doesn't mean that there are never strikes at Airbus. But how long did that last major strike at Boeing last? It has to be expressed in months...
