@GlennFarleyK5 Boeing’s backlog of 5659 jets worth $412 billion. 7 years worth of work. Boeing CEO says business less cyclical.
@GlennFarleyK5 Boeing’s CEO says they have not made decision on whether NMA program will happen. If yes, it could enter service in 2024/25.
@GlennFarleyK5 Boeing’s Muilenburg says 737 MAX now integrated into 2 of 3 Renton assembly lines.
@GlennFarleyK5 Renton built 737 will go to 57/month in 2019, skyline sold out. May go higher based on demand.
@jonostrower Muilenburg: 777 is now “oversold” in 2018 after halving of production to 3.5/mo. 90% for 2019.
@LeehamNews About 45% of current operators have not ordered MAX. Pent up demand equates to another 500+/yr deliveries over 5 yrs from 2020; hike needed.
