Boeing hopes to minimize the impact of job cuts on the C-17 line following its decision to slow the airlifter production rate by a third, but acknowledges that some losses are inevitable.
LOS ANGELES — Boeing will cut the production rate of the C-17 by a third in a bid to extend the life of the program beyond 2012 and give extra time for new domestic and international orders to come through. The rate reduction will be phased in by mid-2011 and will lead to job reductions at its Long Beach, Calif., assembly site, which currently operates a three-shift cycle. The 10-per-year rate, enough to sustain a two-shift system, was apparently chosen over other options including a one-per-month rate, following extensive studies over the past few weeks.
Boeing continues to investigate engine sensor issues on the 787’s Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 that caused the first aircraft, ZA001, to remain grounded for two days at Moses Lake, Wash., and have since led to the postponement of vital flutter tests.
