    Key Boeing supplier may begin shedding workers

    Workers walk away from the Boeing factory in Renton, Wash., where the company's 737 Max airplanes are built, with a painted exterior door of the factory in the background, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2019. As Boeing prepares to shutter much of the huge factory near Seattle that builds the grounded 737 Max jet, the economic hit is reverberating across the United States. The 737 Max, which analysts say is the largest manufactured product exported from the U.S., was grounded worldwide in March 2019 after the second of two deadly crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed a total of 346 people, and on Monday, Dec. 16, 2019, Boeing announced that it would halt Max production in January 2020 with no date for it to resume.

    WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A key Boeing supplier is asking if employees will take buyouts after it suspended production of fuselages and other parts for the troubled 737 Max aircraft.

    Spirit AeroSystems CEO Tom Gentile says the Wichita, Kansas, company will soon face difficult decisions about cutting jobs. He says Spirit still has no clear idea about when Max production will resume. The Boeing 737 represents more than half of Spirit AeroSystems’ revenue.

    Gentile says his company is talking to Boeing about “different scenarios but nothing has been decided.”
