The high cost of cheap labor.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering inspections that could cover hundreds of Boeing Co's 787 Dreamliners after production issues at one plant, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an internal government memo and people familiar with the matter.

Such a safety directive could cover as many as 900 Dreamliners delivered since 2011, according to the report. The final language of the directive depends on ongoing reviews by Boeing and the FAA.

1. And yet, Boeing is now considering "consolidating" 787 production in SC..

...and shutting down the Seattle/Everett line. With 747 production winding to a close, and the 737 MAX tied up in re-certification, that would mean that only 777 production would remain in the region which was historically synonymous with Boeing before the new management (mainly from McDonnell Douglas) chose to move the company to Chicago in the late 1990s.
