At night at the Renton plant near Seattle, a 737 fuselage arrives by train from Wichita, Kans., and cruises into the fabrication hangar on a huge yellow flatbed nicknamed "the Queen Mary." Almost every day, a completed 737 rolls out the exit. Mechanics are divided into teams such as the Bulldogs and the Jets.
