Boeing not having a good time

"A bit of a pickle" - British translation: A catastrophically bad situation with potentially fatal consequences.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Yesterday I was looking to book a flight from our local airport to the Dominican Republic. CYKF just went international maybe 2 years ago, so it is incorrectly represented in MSFS currently as a regional airport. One of the airlines that would have flown the Dominican route said it has cancelled new routes because Boeing did not deliver its aircraft due to a strike. I mean to say, what in the hell are these people striking for in these times? CYKF is 10 minutes from my house, so I am going to have to drive an hour and a half to an alternate airport. No big deal. But the mentallity of these strikes makes me shake my head. :-[

Not to mention last week's announcement/admission of further delays to the 787, particularly its first flight date.
