An employee works in the cockpit of a Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft on the production line at Boeing's 737 factory in Renton, Washington, November 18, 2021.
Boeing machinists approved a new contract last week that included 38% pay raises over four years and other improvements, ending a more than seven-week strike that halted output of most of Boeing's aircraft production.
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner production continued during the strike because those planes are made in a nonunion factory in South Carolina.
Despite the strike pause, Boeing continued to sell dozens of aircraft in October, with 63 gross orders, two shy of September's total.
Forty of them are 737 Max 8s for the Avia Solutions Group.
