FYI:

Boeing made the empennage and wrote the flight control software, they also built the simulators and training plan.

Pratt built the engines.

So, Boeing did not make the avionics and did not make the fuselage. That was L/M.

L/M built the rest of the jet.

Hulka probably needs to inform Boeing that they didn’t make any of the fuselage. They obviously don’t know that.

Boeing writes: “Boeing in Seattle, Wash., built the wings and aft fuselage, including the structures necessary for engine and nozzle installation, and was responsible for avionics integration, 70 percent of mission software, the training system, the life support and fire protection systems, and the pilot and maintenance training systems.”
