That was because Boeing had to do inspections on 110 already completed 787s because of the fuselage shim issue. Those are done and those workers are going back to the line, although it doesn't mean deliveries instantly start increasing because they have timed the supply chain to coincide with their labor availablity.
Boeing already said they expect to deliver 80 787s in 2025. This is more than "5 per month". Additionally they said in 2026 they expect to deliver 10 per month, which means we would get 1 or 2 each month, so roughly 18 deliveries in 2026.
Also they are building a 2nd line 787 line which will double production, to be completed by the end of 2026. So if they can build 20 per month we are now back at the 3 deliveries per month by 2027.
Will this happen? Who knows, but this is what they've said publicly and they have reassured our management they will get us the planes we need.
