Managers in Washington accused of hounding staff to keep quiet over quality concerns, as employees point to union-busting
Boeing’s largest factory is in “panic mode”, according to workers and union officials, with managers accused of hounding staff to keep quiet over quality concerns.
The US plane maker has been grappling with a safety crisis sparked by a cabin panel blowout during a flight in January, and intense scrutiny of its production line as regulators launched a string of investigations.

The problem with cancelling is that Airbus is the only other large airline manufacturer and they’re facing supply chain and labour issues, and have a massive backlog of orders already.
Mainly because of Boeing. When Boeing had their 737MAX issues, Airbus’s books filled up with orders.
Sounds like they could hire more well paid unionized labor to help with the backlog and make bank.
