Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

In response to post below: Poor decisions that upper Management made resulted in the predicament that Boeing finds itself in. Your actions only, which resulted in lost lives. You are only remorseful because you got caught. You did this to yourself as well. So don't point fingers.

Indeed you were a major exporter, therefore, we all expected more from you. You have failed not only your employees on the production lines, but our economy in the Northwest as well, and the families of the lives that were lost. If you can not afford to keep the supply chain alive you are broke! Broken by your greedy immoral acts.

If you have other means to generate operating capital man up and bail yourself out. For starters no pay for CEO and upper management salaries for 5 years.

And finally, Boeing should get an education on how to run a business in an ethical way. Respect your front line workers for the job they do. And remember, without them you are nothing!!!!

First... it is called voluntary administration... the company did it to itself... and an airline is a very different animal than a major exporter and defense contractor (maybe you could ask the Chinese Gov't to protect you?).

Second... Boeing is not going broke. The only reason it would take a bailout would be to preserve jobs in BCA and BGS and keep the supply chain alive. The majority of the cost of building a plane is parts, not labour. If we shut down the plants and layoff the teams the vast majority of costs go away. Then we just work the defense side of the business and payoff our debt slowly.

Third Boeing has other ways to generate operating capital than just the government (share sales for example).

And finally you should get an education and make something of yourself.

Hell yes!! Totally agree Boeing does not deserve a bailout
