Boeing, IAM talk about labor deal
AirInsight has these two podcasts about the grand labor deal announced Wednesday between Boeing and the IAM.

What a terrible shame and tragedy, that the two parties could not have
come to this far-reaching agreement BEFORE the time the big strike occurred

it would also have avoided all the other permanent negative consequences
of the hard-headedness which prevailed for too long, on both sides!
