33,000 is crazy

Don’t you think this might affect the aerospace industry and broader economy?

I wasn't aware of that. It seems like Boeing is already operating at a level that's close to capacity

I'm curious, what do you think Boeing is doing to fix its manufacturing issues? Are they implementing new processes or technologies

Production capacity is turbo-fucked anyway, the backlog for new aircraft extends to 2028 or more at this point.

Boeing was already focusing on fixing its manufacturing issues rather than increasing production, so in the grand scheme of things, I don’t think a temporary strike will have a large impact.

But it’s another instance of death by a thousand cuts for Boeing
