The continuous accidents happenings had killed almost 346 people followed by pushing the biggest industrial company of United States into crisis.

Boeing had to face a multifaceted task in terms of handling shutdown of 737, which was one of its major profit source in the challenging job market of United States. The plane maker, headquartered at Chicago did not want to layoff or furlough their workers as a consequence of the production suspension, said Stan Deal, chief executive of Boeing’s commercial airplane division to the employees.

In its Seattle-region’s manufacturing hub, Boeing strategizes “loaning” 737’s entire workforce to 767, 777 & 777X programs at their Everett factory.
