Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Many Former Boeing Employs Don’t Get It:

The Max Line is Not coming back to it former rate.
The jobs that were there to support 62 a month are not coming back.
All of the capital investments that were made to support 70 plus a month
are now way underutilized, so the head count is not needed.

Boeing’s laughable leadership didn’t have a clue at peak production
Nothing has changed, they don’t have a clue now either.
Boeing’s laughable leadership is still just stumbling through the melee.
They brought this upon themselves, without realizing the consequences of
Their Actions.
Make No Mistake, they are clueless, they are leaders on paper only.
Because of this, 50% of all production jobs in BCA are gone, period.

So I say to those clueless frustrated inane posters, you know who you are.
Boeing’s recovery will be long and difficult and will not include you.
The landscape of Global Aviation has changed forever.
IF there were no other outside completive pressures,
Boeing Would Bounce Back.
This is not reality though; it will take a decade to recover now, ---
IF we had a modern single aisle aircraft to offer the Global Market, we don’t.
China is certifying its own single aisle aircraft for its market and beyond.
Russia is certifying its own single aisle aircraft for its market and beyond.
Airbus is now two decades ahead of Boeing with its designs and its market.

Boeing’s laughable leadership with its bombastic rhetoric of we are the best,
had them believing in it.
So much they were blinded to the Global Developments in aviation,
believing whole heartily no one could touch us, we are the best.
So blinded were they, they stumbled into smoldering pits twice and denied it.
Blame it on Hubris, blame it on Lunacy, I think it was both
with a large dose of idiοcy.

The Jobs Are Gone, Move On, Heal Thy Self, -- Your Idiοcy, will not help you.

Ha ha ! Who can blame them, it's like trying to decide between buying a Lexus or Toyota or a GM or Chrysler, no comparison.

Boeing Just Lost Another Customer
https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/01/boeing-just-lost-another-customer/
Sep. 1, 2021
A long-standing Boeing customer is defecting to the Airbus A321neo.
Market share shift
In recent years, Airbus has consistently maintained a backlog advantage
over Boeing, specifically in the narrow-body segment.
However, the gap widened when Airbus bought a controlling stake in the
CSeries aircraft program -- now known as the A220 -- in 2018, and it
expanded dramatically after the Boeing 737 MAX was grounded in March 2019.

As of the end of 2015, Boeing had 4,392 firm orders for its 737 family,
whereas Airbus had 5,535 firm orders for its competing A320 family.
That gave Airbus a 56% share of the two top aircraft manufacturers'
narrow-body orders, a solid advantage but hardly a dominant position.
Two years later, Airbus' share had crept up to 57%.

But by the end of July 2021, Boeing's narrow-body backlog had shrunk to
just 3,314 firm orders, largely because a slew of 737 MAX orders had
disappeared over the past two years. Meanwhile, Airbus ended the month
with 6,100 firm orders for narrow-bodies, with the A320neo family accounting
for more than 90% of that backlog. This puts Airbus' share of the two rivals'
narrow-body orders at ---65%.---

Leeham News — The Boeing Co. has quietly recalled at least some of as many
as 900 quality control inspectors who were laid off in 2019 as part of a drive
to adopt car-industry manufacturing processes in aerospace manufacturing.

We build the Toyota of the skies; it’s just without the quality.

Most of the engineering jobs being done in Washington state will be done by someone in Moscow or Charleston in the future. When and If they do a new airplane it will be built in Charleston not Washington.

Most people are trying to hang on until they can retire or have retired already.

A lot of the young engineers come in and leave after two or three years because they know what working 20 years at Boeing get you…..,, a pink slip.

To those BA-related unemployed, I shared your grief and outrage since you lost your job at not your fault. BA would recover but the job recovery would not in Puget Sound/WA state area since there are not many airplanes programs to support in BCA (single aisle 737NG/737MAX, double aisle 777/777X only). If you are BA old timers and hope to have some pension in your retirement, you should wish BA would succeed and recover, otherwise everybody is screwed. Just forget BA, get over it to find another BA jobs in another state or non-BA position, otherwise you get depressed.

Unless you’re an inspector, we are trying to bring them back.
https://leehamnews.com/2021/05/18/boeing-rehires-aircraft-inspectors/

The Boeing Company has now “Disproved” that getting rid of inspectors
could be done without risking the quality of our products.
However, this mind boggling idiοtic idea did prove we could greatly improve
our production, we churned out more garbage than at any time in our history.
This had no negative effect on the bonuses for the BoD.
It just wiped-out sales and the workforce

Leadership has no vision for the future other than to make a name for themselves by stepping on anyone who gets in their way. Until the culture changes at Boeing nothing will ever change and our competition will get further ahead.

William Boeing is rolling in his grave at what has become of the company he founded.
