With various impacts spreading from the now over machinists strike - it seems that Boeing's supply chain is running a little ragged at the moment.
There are reports of fastener problems on the 737 line. Now the 747-8 has been pushed back to deliveries in 2009 for the Cargo version and Lufthansa's new pax planes are not due now until 2010.
With Airbus also struggling to meet production ramp up goals for the giant A380 - it seems the bad news is not good.
Some good news for both ultra large plane makers. The Russian government just removed tariffs on all planes over 300 seats.
Cheers
