RE:Boeing to cut 737 Max productionBoeing sure knows how to shovel it. 20% cut in production so resources can be diverted to fixing software? I am not sure how many people it takes to put together 10 airplanes per month but I would be pretty sure all those people would not be sent over to the computer lab to write software.
No, the real reason is because at 52 planes per month production with zero deliveries for a few months they would need an awful large parking lot... PLUS pay those workers for producing them with zero income! They might get away with giving holiday time, but most likely this is layoff time.
It may also turn into permanent layoffs should the investigation go on. And then, as it SHOULD happen, the Max is simply ruled unfit to fly, then the full layoffs will happen.
Even if it does return to service, I am certain that the customers will shun it. But we all know Boeing just is a corrupt criminal organization dont we. So simply expect more manoeur to be shoveled.
