Everett is Up 5-2 over Charleston In The Early Innings

I know its summer and sounds like baseball is on the menu, but this is a real serious score and it may expand by world series time in October, with the Everett Sea Hawks currently schil lacking the Charleston Low Country Boys of summer by putting out 5 787 a month over charlestons 1.5 units a month in the early innings of production. It is a long season, and Everett has been doing this for a long time with a variety of wide body aircraft. They have the advantage of tens years rolling up production to this point where Charleston didn't even have a building a just a few short years ago. Not only that, Boeing came in and consolidated the fabrication of barrels and other parts from former Italian interest to save program continuity. Boeing now does those critical pieces in house, before handing it over the Low Country production team. Yes, Charleston was a AAA squad until September 15,2012.

Then  they entered the big leagues with an Air India halting delivery.  Promises were made, "that by next year, in the summer of 2013, they would be whipping out 3 units a months."  Much to the Charleston planning shagrin, the Battery blew up those aspirations  in short order, and had to change battle plans until the all clear from the FAA screamed. "Play Ball". The Everett team with its built-in infrastructure and resources sand bagged it, by keeping its three lines churning and filling the parking lot with engineless 787's at the airplane mall parking lot outside doors 40-24 and 40-26, until Paine Field had to be rezoned as a parking garage instead of an airport. The spigot is turned back on with its new battery cases and plan B technology, and Charleston finds itself down by a score of 5-2 units per months. I would correctly say 1.5 units a month from Charleston but that is scab picking.  Excuse me for saying scab picking, it was not intended to rile any angst in the late inning for any team. But picking scabs is not productive or polite in mixed company.

Finally, the board of directors, in its all wise  decision making, thought Charleston would wipe Everett Smug smile and put feet into the fire to infinity and beyond. However, all good plans need a disaster to instill humility to make any idea good. Everett is doing a first class effort, even sending some of best players to Charleston so they can make the Boeing Dream come true. The Board couldn't of planned it better if they tried.  The Everett A Team is still the A Team. The fire was not held under its feet, instead Charleston is still trying to show up at the Ball Park, and seeking to build a boatload of engineless airplanes like Everett, parked at its facilities.
