How many are still laid off from Boeing?
I am a retired Boeing machinist. Kind of out of touch with the company. Have most laid off union members been called back by now?
Problems

I can only shake my head at how Calhoun is still around.
I can only shake my head at how Calhoun is still around. There is nothing but one set of bad news after another. Now we are supposed to be made to believe that the latest 787 announcement is being passed off as some form of good news.
Would you recommend Boeing as an employer to your friend?
Are we still a great employer?

Sue boeing?
Can i sue boeing for discrimination? My temp manager only got the opportunity for the position based on the color of his skin. He has no merit what so ever. He has the worse work ethic on the shop floor as a mechanic and reads at a 6th grade level. — read more
You guys notice the silence from the executives/upper management?
Is this like quiet before the storm type stuff? What is happening? Usually they're always babbling about listening here seeing there and inculcating this. Nothing but silence.

Whether this is a human error or Boeing's fault, it doesn't matter. Whoever sees that video will never want to fly in a Boeing plane again. I don't want to. I know it's not rational, but that's the whole point of it. I truly think this might be the... — read more
