Boeing runs into turbulence: Boeing readies an attractive new plane, but serious doubts persist about engineering, management, labor relations, and commitment to civil aviation
Article Abstract:

The growing labor disputes, concerns about the company's commitment to quality and excessive frugality makes it difficult for it to refurbish it's reputation for delivering first rate planes on attractive terms.
