BLEW OFF THE 737 IN JANUARY. THE COMPANY BRINGING A NEW CEO TO CLEAN THINGS UP. TALK US THROUGH THE POTENTIAL STRIKE? THE CONTRACT THEY ARE VOTING ON WOULD INCLUDE MORE MONEY. >> Reporter: PAY IS THE MAIN ISSUE. THERE IS A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT BY THE LEADERSHIP OF THE UNION AND LEADERS FROM BOEING. THE 25% PAY RAISE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 11% WAS INITIALLY SIGN. OVER ALL YOU WOULD LISTEN AND SAY, 25% IS A GOOD DEAL. THE UNION'S PREVIOUS CONTRACT WAS A 1% RAISE EVERY COUPLE YEARS OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

HE DID NOT SAY A LOT OTHER THEN WE HAVE A CHANCE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTING THIS COMPANY DRAMATICALLY THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. HE UNDERSTANDS PASSIONATE FEELINGS OF THE MACHINISTS WHO ARE WORKING HERE. AT THE SAME TIME, HE IS IN A TOUGH SPOT. 25%, THAT IS A VERY GENEROUS OFFER. IF YOU ARE A MACHINIST, YOU WILL SAY, WHAT DO THEY GET AT UAW AND CERTAIN AIRLINES WHEN THEY THREATENED TO GO ON STRIKE? THEY BELIEVE THAT 40% IS A BETTER DEAL THAN 25%. >> HAS ANYTHING SURPRISED YOU ABOUT THIS? >> Reporter: NO. COVERING BOEING FOR 30 YEARS, I SEE THE FRUSTRATION THAT HAS BEEN BUILDING UP WITH THE MACHINISTS OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS. WHEN BOEING OPENED UP IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE MEMBERS HERE GOT UPSET ABOUT THAT. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY ABOUT THE LAST C
