Still, I’d expect Wichita Spirit plant can soon produce replacements, so it’s not a huge issue, but I’d suspect it might cause some jiggling of production at Spirit and Boeing.

Actually, I’d think it quite an issue to conjure up 3 fuselages [without having a cascading effect on subsequent production]. The supply chain is just not rigged to yo-yo rates quickly.

I would think Boeing will just have to rejig the delivery slots and that’ll be it, they’ll probably catch back up the fuse shipsets vs. wings in a few months.
