I was imagining just to myself whether the jobs or economic impact of this production suspension by Boeing would be similar or not even close to the disruption caused by the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.
In this case, the jobs are much higher value per person, and the supply chain much more dramatic -- big factories and machinery idled. But the Samsung battery disaster probably affected 10s of thousands of workers, and caused Samsung a reported $15B (?) writedown of value.
But then thinking again, Boeing has experience with bad batteries too... Maybe the two companies should share PR disaster recovery playbooks.
