Will Boeing Survive as a Civilian Aircraft Maker in 2020?
Boeing’s new CEO, David Calhoun, is unlikely to solve these multifold problems. Having spent 26 years at General Electric, stripping aviation talent out and replacing real engineering with financial engineering, Calhoun eventually became a director... — read more
No layoff
Europe doing flight test this week. Things looking good. Max will be back this year. Time to blow my 5k bonus on some fun
Any predictions of when layoffs start?
Take an educated guess giving reasons.

i am embaressed to work for this highest paying prison intituition in the world. prison people kil people for gain.boats are safer
I think the "monkey clown" message was let out to shift blame on employees instead of greedy management and board members.
This will also cause people to not question mass lay offs when they, if they do, happen. Greedy board members and other executives are trying to shift blame from the cost cutting culture that caused the Max, to employees. The pr people or... — read more
Not sure if this is sad or funny
We seem to be the least impacted by the whole 737 Max production halt. Triumph, Spirit, everybody is seeing major consequences and laying off people. And from what I can tell, so far we've had no layoffs directly related to the issue. As I said... — read more
Clowns and Monkeys
Bozo the Clown designed it, he stole MCAS from Ronald McDonald the Hamburger Clown and his flying hamburger ( for those of you old enough to remember that ) and they had Curious George supervising the whole mess.....

/source below/ The 1997 merger that paved the way for the Boeing 737 Max crisis
Natasha Frost Jan 3rd 2020 /source below/ Late in the summer of 1997, two of the most critical players in global aviation became a single tremendous titan. Boeing, one of the US’s largest and most important companies, acquired its longtime... — read more

Boeing considers raising more debt as MAX crisis weighs: WSJ

Here they come.
I work on the shop floor, in Everett. We are anticipating 180% increase in head count as Renton moves up. That's my shop. One other shop I know acquired 200% labor increase. Not gossip. Just fact.

Chapter 11
I'm wondering how long before the Chapter 11 narrative is thrown about? I dont see Calhoun as anything but a hatchet man in an attempt to trim the fat as fast as possible and stop the bleed out of the Big B. If and when it happens you can see all... — read more
Any new news on movement?
Are they still shipping people up to Everett? I heard they dont want as many now and there isnt much parking already.
No layoffs peoples
Until i see a hiring freeze, I refuse to believe there will be any layoffs in the near future.
Big news tmrw friday
I would come to work tomorrow to hear it straight from your master's mouth
2020
I hope Boeing rebounds and has a great 2020, would love to see the max back in service and Boeing take their spot back at the top of the aviation industry. This is possible!!
No doubt layoffs will occur AFTER the holidays...
No doubt layoffs will occur AFTER the holidays because laying off before the holidays would be a PR nightmare for Boeing.
Mass Casualty Activation System
When the red light flashes ON and the MCAS is engaged, kiss your arse goodbye, you are already dead. And don't imagine that you are safe on the ground – MCAS can strike anywhere. When the Boeing DC-10 with MCAS crashed for flight 191 at O'Hare... — read more

Now there will be layoffs. Molly was the only one in the company leadership pushing against layoffs. Boeing said it needed to separate Chairmen and CEO to eliminate conflict of interest, it lied. D.C. will be both. C. is NOT an engineer... — read more
New pto scam
They say our vacation and sick days will be combined into a single pool for the new system...do we actually get any more days off from this? To me it sounds like we simply lose our sick leave days with zero compensation for the loss.
I been through a Boeing layoff before
Let me tell you, it is no objective exercise Managers do to decide who gets a layoff notice. Most, if not all Boeing managers can pull whatever they want on people working for them. There are no checks made by HR to over rule a manager who singles... — read more
