As someone w/ AL ties who also has several friends who work for NG, I think this is good news. Boeing will live to bid another day, and hopefully next time they'll bring a more competitive design.

Are you in Seattle, AKA Monet? If so, I never realized that! Yes, my mother just retired from Boeing on Friday after 35 years with the company, and my bf is an engineering liaison at the Everett plant. So you could say that I've heard plenty about this and tensions are high.
