You're viewing a single thread.
The nickel-and-diming of the workers is particularly galling, Haala said, because for Boeing, labor accounts for only 3 to 5 percent of the cost of an airplane.
From my rough searches, these planes cost roughly $250-400 million each.
Presumably a lot of the actual labor costs are hidden in outsourced parts of the build process.
I'd have to figure on airplane parts, 25% of the cost could be on QC alone.
What is the expensive part you imagine about QC that isn't labor? I mean sure, you need the occasional destructive test and some fuel and hangar rent but mainly it is people doing the quality control checks.
I wasn't. That's why I figured 3% is ridiculously low.
