Boeing reassesses schedule for 787
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The Associated Press is reporting that the Boeing Co. says it’s reassessing the schedule for the new 787 and won’t announce the result until the end of the month.
Some analysts expect another delay.
Boeing’s 787 program has been hit by a series of delays caused largely by work that had to be done on the final assembly line after it was not handled at supplier factories as planned.
Originally, Boeing said it would begin test-flying the 787 in August or September of last year and deliver the plane to All Nippon Airways in this May.
Now the company is trying to start flight tests by the end of June and deliver the plane in early 2009.

Exactly why our stock is heading for the basement.
A consideration by the USAF when they award new contracts…”Ability to meet schedule within budget and date”.
What are all the Boeing “whiners” have too say now….Oh! I almost forgot the majority of the fabricated, sub-assembly and assemblies for the 787 are made off-shore!!!!!!
