Abstract

The article assesses the inability of Boeing Co. to deliver its 787 aircraft and the delay of its first flight. Even as Boeing Co. CEO James McNerney and Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) President and CEO Scott Carson on October 10, 2007 were acknowledging late delays for 15 of the 50 customers who have placed a record 710 firm orders for the 787, the company's sales and management executives were calling customers to reassure them that the aircraft's design and development remain fundamentally sound.
