Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) will begin furloughs in a few weeks if a strike at Boeing (BA) continues, Claire Bushey and Sylvia Pfejfer of The Financial Times reports. Spirit AeroSystems makes the fuselage for the 737 Max, which is assembled at a Boeing site where employees recently walked off the job earlier this month. Spirit was behind schedule and is using the labor disruption to catch up on filling orders, but, if the strike stretches past mid-October, the company will no longer be insulated from its effects, an industry source told the Times.
