Spirit AeroSystems had been scrambling to cut costs after more than 32,000 Boeing machinists walked off the job Sept. 13.

Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita's largest employer, told 700 of it's 7-67 and triple seven program workers, will be furloughed.

The plane manufacturer said the employees affected by the furloughs were working on Boeing’s 767 and 777 programs. The furlough will last for three weeks.
