I get this feeling that since Boeing would not bow down to the unions, the unions are bringing down Boeing. It would not be the first time they tried to sabotage a company for opposing the union. Any thoughts?
The stock price is near the high end of the 52 week range, so I don't think there is sabotage. And I do believe the media is blowing the 787 problems out of proportion.
I was thinking sabatoge myself, from Airbus, when this whole catastrophe started. But union retaliation makes more sense to cause it. Unions seem to have no common sense and love to bite off the hand that feeds them.
The minute I read this story, I thought the same thing. Really now... this spate of exploding batteries this conveniently soon after Boeing tried to move some operations to RTW South Carolina... not buying the "it was just coincidental" bit.

Yes, those are my thoughts as well.
Hard for me to believe a stellar company like Boeing with the experience and track record it has could mess up like this - unassisted.
I’m missing how this is something to celebrate, as seems to be the thrust of the article.
Occam’s Razor: Boeing made a stupid design decision. Ooops!
(Now let’s try to blame this on anyone but Boeing itself...duh!)
