For Boeing, the implications for a strike depend on its duration,

Versus the positions as we went into the strike, Boeing certainly looks like they did give more, ... would cost both sides more, so getting it settled earlier is definitely better.

The measure of life is not its duration, but its donation.

Boeing has the financial resources to withstand a strike of at least two to three months, and much of the negative financial effect will be reversed once aircraft deliveries resume,

Does this mean that Boeing will lose business to Airbus? If the strike does not last more than three months, that would be unlikely.

We recognize that this is a regional resource, and its development has regional implications.
