That’s a speculative piece and the one it links to is as well.

The 787 was designed to not require as much infrastructure as the Everett plant has to offer. I’m out of the loop, but Wikipedia still lists most of the rest of their catalog as being produced in Everett, and the new 777 is coming online.

Sounds more like having to choose between 787 capacity and other production lines.

I’m not sure where they get losing the 787 meaning nothing to backfill it. For those specific employees, changing programs may be difficult and not all of them will be picked up, but for the region, I don’t see how this means 30k fewer jobs.

Also Everett does other things besides assembly. I think most of their IT and a few other programs are there.
