UPDATE 1-China's COMAC is designing a new widebody jet, SCMP reports
China's state-owned planemaker COMAC has preliminary drafts for a new widebody jet called the C939, the South China Morning Post reported, likely a larger version of COMAC's first twin-aisle C929 which is itself still under design. China, through the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), is investing heavily in designing and manufacturing homegrown aircraft in an attempt to break into a passenger jet market dominated by Western planemakers Boeing and Airbus . COMAC has sketched out preliminary designs for the new C939 aircraft but it will be many years before a testable prototype could emerge, according to the SCMP report published late on Monday citing a source familiar with the matter.

At a rally outside Boeing headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, IAFF President Edward Kelly, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Representative Val Hoyle urged Boeing to make a deal.
