    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author states that Boeing's MAX jetliner production has fallen sharply in recent weeks as U.S. regulators step up factory checks and workers slow the assembly line outside Seattle to complete outstanding work.

      • Deception (50%)
        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Spirit Aerosystems is making changes after multiple issues with the Boeing 737 Max jets. However, there are no specific details about these issues mentioned in the article. This implies that either they were not significant enough to warrant mention or they have been resolved without any impact on production. Secondly, the author states that Spirit Aerosystems is limiting overtime as well as hiring due to a decline in production. However, this contradicts information provided by Boeing earlier this year which stated that it was increasing its orders for 737 Max jets and expected demand to continue growing in the future. This suggests that Spirit may be struggling with declining sales rather than issues with the aircraft itself.

      • Bias (75%)
        The author uses language that implies a positive outlook for the future of Spirit Aerosystems despite recent issues with the Boeing 737 Max jets. The use of phrases such as 'driving stability', 'maintaining flexibility' and 'position our workforce for the future' suggest an optimistic view on what is happening at Spirit, even though there has been a decline in production due to multiple issues with the 737 Max jets.
