SPEEA Calls on Boeing to Give Up 787 “Outsourcing”
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) has publicly called on Boeing to “face the fact that the global network is a failure

The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) has publicly called on Boeing to “face the fact that the global network is a failure and bring the critical work back so the experienced employees can get the 787 back on track.”

SPEEA seized on a report last week in the Puget Sound Business Journal that the company planned to assign full-time Boeing inspectors to some 12 key suppliers to reduce flaws and maintain quality. The appeal comes more than a year after the ceremonial roll-out of the 787 on July 4 last year. Schedules now call for first flight to occur this November.
