FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Boeing said on Sunday the Federal Aviation Administration has not informed the company of a certification delay of its Dreamliner jet after a report in German magazine Focus that the project could be pushed back by another three to six months.

Focus, which said it obtained the information from within the regulatory body, reported that the first orders will now be delivered at the end of 2009 or the start of 2010.

You know, if this is true they need to find out who blabbed to a German magazine before informing Boeing, and fire them. That’s just not right.

Der Magaziner is shilling for the local company, Airbust.

It may come as a surprise to some, but German MSM will use "news" to further their agenda just like their American cousins.

” . . . and continues to grapple with underperforming suppliers.”
Outsourcing is a wonderful thing. Weren’t the Chinese given the construction of elements of the wings?

Serves them right..

Outsource all the work, everything goes wrong. Sounds about right, but nobody gets it yet.
