New Training From Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA)

Mechanics going through Boeing Co.’s (NYSE:BA) 25-day Dreamliner training course will learn to fix the full spectrum of problems, from broken lights in the cabin to major glitches with its flight controls.

All this and more will be learned without ever setting foot on one of the planes, which is lucky as their delivery has been delayed on a number of occasions.

Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) has developed a 3-D computer simulation of the plane which mechanics will use to “walk” around the jet during virtual troubleshooting.
