Boeing stops producing 737 Max airliner involved in deadly crashes

Associated Press Dec 16, 2019 Updated 2 min ago

Boeing Co. said Monday that it will temporarily stop producing its grounded 737 Max jet starting in January as it struggles to get approval from regulators to put the plane back in the air.

The Chicago-based company said production would halt at its plant with 12,000 employees in Renton, Washington, near Seattle.

Boeing said it doesn't expect any layoffs as a result of the production halt "at this time." But layoffs could ripple through some of the 900 companies that supply parts for the plane.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Terrible news. I get blue during the holidays and was planning on commuting suicide by taking a trip on one of these flying death traps to see my great aunt in Sheboygan. Guess I'll do the next best thing.......rent a Tesla with Autopilot and drive to see her.
