From the article it looks like this is for 109 planes.

That's almost 1,000 Rosie the Riveters per plane.

What the fuck are they gonna build?

Battlestar Galacticas?

There's a lot more to designing, testing and building a modern plane that riveting. That said, I'm sure the 100K figure is just thrown out there to a make a point, whether true or not. You should know about this tactic considering your fondness for Trump.
