Spirit successfully managed through a prior IAM strike at Boeing in September 2005 using a shortened work week instead of stopping production and furloughing employees.

"Our experience shows this approach is a prudent solution for all stakeholders," Turner said. "Today, Spirit is a financially stronger and a more diversified company than we were in 2005. As such, we will continue our normal efforts on certain Boeing products, as well as products for new customers including Airbus, Cessna, Gulfstream, Rolls Royce, Hawker Beechcraft and Sikorsky."

Spirit's previous 2008 financial guidance, provided on July 31, 2008, is being withdrawn as a result of the labor strike at its largest customer. Spirit will update its 2008 financial guidance and provide 2009 financial guidance when practical, after the IAM strike at The Boeing Company has ended.
