SEATTLE: Boeing Co said on Tuesday it plans to add extra staff and hire "a few hundred" temporary employees at an airport in Washington state where it is storing many grounded 737 MAX jetliners, a key step in its best-case plan for resuming deliveries to airline customers in October.
The world's largest planemaker, burning cash as one of the worst crises in its history stretches into a sixth month, said the workers will assist with aircraft maintenance and customer delivery preparations at Grant County International Airport.
The hiring plans are the first publicly detailed steps Boeing will take as it works to deliver hundreds of grounded 737 MAX jets to airlines globally, an undertaking that would amount to one of the biggest logistical operations in modern civil aviation.

I wonder how Boeing will survive this debacle...
Nothing wrong with a plane that needs software correction in order to fly right...
Too big to fail?
I’d fly on one. As long as they gave me a parachute.
Every military jet in recent times is that way, IIRC.
The problem is that at a certain altitude for that to work. IIRC, All the problems occurred when the plane was too close to the ground to correct for the problem.
Instead of a parachute, perhaps a prayer shawl and a Bible might be better safety equipment.
It was tongue-and-cheek. I would fly one as long as the pilot was ‘Mercian.
I even hear that Canucks, Aussies, Kiwis and even 'Murcans make good, professional pilots!
Government contracts.
Such as the KC-46 that the Air Force keeps refusing deliveries of because of quality issues. (The defective refueling system appears to be acceptable, however). And politically fueled purchases of outdated fighters and less than suitable anti-submarine warfare platforms.
NO UNEMPLOYMENT, NO PEACE!!!!!!!!
If its Boeing It aint going

I do like their cure for the self-igniting 787s. Cut some holes so the smoke vents to the exterior instead of into the cabin, so the passengers don’t complain. And a heavier fire resistant battery case so the fire doesn’t spread to the rest of the plane.
Other than that and a bumpy ride, the plane does have some nice features.
The MAX will resume flying in early October. The flights will be empty, but they will resume flying. :)
Alright, I’ll throw in with them too.
“...many grounded 737 MAX jetliners, a key step in its best-case plan for resuming deliveries to airline customers in October.”
They gonna have to cut em to half price.
My future vacation plans will not be on any 737max thats for sure.
“Nothing wrong with a plane that needs software correction in order to fly right.’
other than the fact that it will stall instead of glide in the case of engine failure ...
What are you even talking about?
