Final assembly logistics for the Alabama plant are supposed to be 18-24 months.

Looks like Boeing may have shot themselves in the foot on a number of fronts.

Regardless, eventual final assembly in Mobile makes great economic and political sense.

Also, to be considered US made, could final assembly not be as simple as slapping the hubcaps on in Mobile?

Foeing is bucked!
At American we have heard for a number of months now that we need a “large” order for the 100-150 seat market. The thought was the 319Neo, but the C-100/300 was also mentioned several times in our internal company crew news sessions.
With the 319Neo being effectively killed off, I have no doubt that the Alabama plant will be used for a growing US market.

No doubt many more airlines will be looking at both the CS100 and CS300 with this agreement. Look for some great package deals....

Also with Jetblue looking for a deal, which is almost certain now that it is backed by Airbus, there is a case for injury.

I wonder if there is more method to all this madness. An almost bankrupt company, with a new innovative airframe that nobody seems to be ordering. Dump them in the US knowing full well Boeing will try to put a stop to it. Then they partner with a European aerospace giant and assemble them in the good old US of A. Now there is an innovative "American Made" alternative that just might swell the order books without tariff worries and they can build and sell the larger models that do compete with Boeing offerings.
