Boeing says it will be several weeks before it fully resumes building passenger planes, as factory workers return following a strike that lasted nearly two months.

Machinists are set to fully return this week, but Boeing has said it'll take weeks for factories to get fully rolling. The company reported Tuesday it delivered just 14 jets in October — its lowest mark since November 2020. Boeing is also continuing with plans to cut about 17,000 jobs.

As Boeing's Machinists return after eight weeks on strike, experts predict the work stoppage strained finances for the company and region, but likely ended before the cost got prohibitive.
