It is a great day. Never in my 25 years at Boeing have I ever seen IAM settle on a contract so fast, and by such a huge margin. Both sides knew a long strike next September would have meant the end of production in Renton.

Cool Video - The Production of Boeing 737 “Florida One” in time lapse photography. If you blink you may miss me.

Agreed, it’s good, both for WA and SC.

Thanks for the great video link. That is one BIG spray booth! LOL!

Actually, by the time this contract concludes, China will be producing jets that will compete against both Boeing and Airbus...so this acceptance was a VERY WISE move by the IAM. They will have a lot more to worry about next time around.
