Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Boeing's Borrowing Is Backing The Duplicitous Plane Maker Into A Corner

Ratings agencies are closely watching how the troubled company will structure
its scam to raise cash

Boeing’s plan to outlast its strike is taking shape,
with Reuters reporting on plans to raise $15 billion through stock
and convertible bond sales.
This financial maneuver comes as the aerospace giant grapples with a
month-long labor dispute and its investment-grade credit rating hangs
in the balance.

The proposed fundraising reportedly includes a $10 billion equity sale paired
with $5 billion in convertible bonds, which could convert to equity if needed.
Previously, Boeing had indicated it might raise up to $25 billion in addition
to a $10 billion loan.

Boeing has lost 37 billion since 2019.
This was 32 billion before the Starliner fiasco.

However Boeing is not happy with such a shallow hole.
So in typical Boeing fashion, they are now going for broke, quite literally.

Boeing’s latest plan for its own self-destruction is to acquire more debt
in an all out effort to wage war on their striking employees.
This after laying off 17,000 non union employees as punishment for the
striking union members. --- You can’t make this up, this is Boeing.

In the upside-down world that is Boeing management, this makes perfect sense.
It also made perfect sense to launch a leaking spacecraft, according to Boeing.

This will end as Starliner did, a Laughingstock:

Well, if the plan is to shut the company down and put everyone out of work, your plan just might end the way you want it to.

Boeing Plea Deal Shaken Up by Texas Judge's 'Odd' DEI Probe

The US government’s criminal case against Boeing over two fatal cгashes
took what legal observers called an unusual turn when a conservative
Texas federal judge questioned how diversity practices would affect the selection
of an independent safety monitor.

Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush appointee to the US District Court
for the Northern District of Texas, is considering Boeing’s proposed plea deal
with the US Justice Department. If approved, that agreement would allow the company to avoid a criminal trial after the agency determined it breached
a 2021 deferred-prosecution agreement over the Lion Air Flight 610
and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 cгashes.

Some relatives of the crash victims characterized the plea agreement announced
in July as a “sweetheart deal” and insisted that the court, not the government
and Boeing, should appoint an independent compliance monitor.
They also questioned a provision related to the DOJ’s “commitment to diversity
and inclusion” in choosing the monitor.
That prompted O’Connor this week to order further explanation on how
the agency’s internal diversity policies will be applied in the case by Oct. 25.

Attorneys and law professors called the move fairly uncommon
in the context of plea agreements, with some saying it reflects rising scrutiny
from conservatives toward DEI policies and their role in government
decision-making and general hiring practices.
Courts, they said, don’t question specific internal agency policies unless
there’s a clear and direct connection to the issue at hand.
