Last week Boeing and the striking machinists reached a deal to get people back on the assembly line. So things should have been looking up for the airline behemoth. But, of course, they’re not. Today the Associated Press reports that Boeing stock took another dive when an analyst said to expect problems from bad fasteners. Long story short, the doohickeys (it’s a technical aviation term) that hold the 787 together were assembled incorrectly here in the Seattle plant. Today the stock price dropped about 7 percent, trading at $49.26 after hours. Sure makes you feel good about getting into planes in the coming holiday season, no?
