Boeing Strike Consequence: 787 Test Flight Delayed Again

<<If Boeing had "lost credibility" - perhaps someone can rationally explain why orders for the 787 family STILL continue to roll in.

"Lost credibility" indeed... >>

Are you kidding?? Just talk to the customers--they don't believe any schedule Boeing anounces. Just talk to the aerospace analysts. They don't either. Just read what Scott CArson had to say--even he admitted Boeing's lost credibility. What universe are you fgrom?

Despite Panoply of Issues, Are Boeing Shares Too Cheap to Ignore?

Alpha's analysis today and previously occasionally misses the mark. For one thing, the following statement is out-of-date:

# Engineers and technical workers may strike. Boeing is engaged in contentious contract negotiations with unions representing both groups.

SPEEA has settled and there is no strike.

(Did Google pick up an old Alpha and put today's date on it? This happens sometimes.)

Fleetbuzz, it should be noted, is notoriously pro-Boeing and anti-Airbus and anything said should be viewed in this light.

What's been overlooked by all commenting is that Boeing's other mature programs, 737-747/400-767-777 are proceeding very smoothly. The 787 (and to a lesser degree the 747-8) grab all the headlines and taint the entire company, overshadowing the continued success of the other BCA programs. Alpha and others completely overlook this.
