Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Boeing 737MAX quality control. What a shame!

The good old Boeing engineers must be rolling over in their graves.
I mean, it's one after another.

"According to an internal memo, seen by Reuters, Boeing found debris that could pose potential safety risks in the fuel tanks of several 737 MAX aircraft that are in storage and waiting to be delivered to airlines."

There should not be thousands of layoffs. That would be unfair. There should be thousands fired starting from the top.

Boeing’s new logo should be a flying middle finger with wings on it

Adding to my previous post, the relationship between management and union is like a bad marriage, two bitter sides that use the kids as pawns in this case the customer suffers with c-ap quality and flawed desIgns. Just taking what they think is due to them at the cost of the flying public and tax payers. Disgusting to see and further they want to put down sites like Charleston. I’ve been to the non union sites those people have integrity the Seattle union lost years ago as crummy babies from the merger. Still crying 20+ years later and throwing blame.

This is not the first time FOD is found on production planes (787, tanker) by the FAA and the air force

Pressure or not, bad mgmt or not, the real question is "are each of us doing our job correctly and with quality?"

I am not mgmt and not HR. Just a guy working here.

Spot on. The company has been destroyed by total lack of accountably and sense of entitlement at all levels.

Typical Union mentality.

  • Its not my fault
  • Its management trying to screw us
  • it's a management distraction
  • Management pushed us too hard
  • You never worked here
  • You don't understand

I've never met on Union member who ever owned a mistake. Which is another parallel to the BoD, they don't own their mistakes either.

The more that you look, you see the BoD are more the same than different.

if you don’t work at Boeing or never have worked at Boeing you do not and will never understand how things work and operate here. So please keep your opinions and comments to yourself when comes to the employees regardless if there union or not. You just don’t get it!

No, I don't. Many of the posters here are union (engineering and machinist) and they have been throwing stones to say this management and that management should have done something different no matter the financial pressure.

Well, it does roll down hill. Those machinists could have done their job and removed the FOD. I won't argue there is pressure, but if you are going to throw stones at others, your house needs to be clean.

You respond to your own post to support your own thesis! Lying 🤥 and misrepresentation is never a justice for anyone. I could never deceive others and comment on my own post as anonymous to support my statement. I would feel guilty or deceptive. I guess that I have more ethics.

Only one problem with this article.

It wasn't the engineers who put debris in the tanks
It wasn't the Board of Directors who put debris in the tanks
It wasn't the CEO (past or present) who put debris in the tanks
It wasn't management who put debris in the tanks.

It was the UNION who left debris in the tanks!

FOD can take down an aircraft just as efficiently as MCAS. Just because it was caught before it happened does not make it any less serious.

I hope you boys enjoyed the $5k, you earned it...wait...did you?

By seeing how many people down voted compared to how many up voted, you can tell there is no hope for Boeing. Change for the better starts from accepting criticism. The facts are overwhelming. 346 people died already. You should reflect on this and do a better job next time!
