-So, Boeing have made improvements to their manufacturing process with the result that they are now doing something that they were already doing very well indeed in rather less time.
A creditable outcome, for certain, but a 'fantastic achievement'?
No more so than any other improvement in production line technique by any other major engineering-based manufacturer.
We live in an age of hyperbole.

-I agree about the good news bit about Boeing.
It's easy to forget, when we are in the midst of the B787 saga, that Boeing is a first-rate company that has achieved a great deal.

Let's have a little good news from Boeing, even if it is a few days old.
A fantastic achievement for the 777 program. At 8.3 aircraft per months, that's three and a half years of production with the current backlog of 365 aircraft.
