San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport marked a milestone as it welcomed its largest passenger aircraft to date, the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-800. The aircraft arrived from Seattle, emphasizing the airport's growing capacity to handle larger planes and potentially increasing tourism and travel capacity in the region. Meanwhile, Boeing faces significant challenges on multiple fronts. A strike involving 33,000 machinists continues, primarily over disputes regarding pay and pension benefits. The strike has drawn attention from the National Association of Manufacturers, which warns that the work stoppage could lead to substantial economic losses, affecting not only Boeing but also the wider economy. In another development, Boeing's legal troubles are under scrutiny as Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have called for the Department of Justice to take tougher action against Boeing executives. The senators' letter urges the department to hold executives criminally accountable for safety issues, underscoring growing concerns about corporate responsibility following several high-profile safety lapses. These challenges indicate a tumultuous period for Boeing, impacting both its labor relations and legal standing.
