Oh cool! Another thread turning into completely missing the point of the topic.
In all fairness, a decent amount of the rework performed on the planes coming out of Carolina were do to poor training of the employees. We sent people down there to help train them. Some of it was engineering related...the program was a mess for a long time.
But when the planes arrived from Carolina, they were more often than not, built with damaged parts or installed wrong, again do to poor training and just a lack of care. There were parts damaged on purpose with foot prints on them.
Some of the biggest customers refused to take planes built by them for quite awhile.
The planes getting reworked that were built in the Puget Sound were early production models that had to be updated to newer specs. Same goes for the current rework being performed.
Not saying Carolina is horrible. Just a different entity. Puget Sound has its problems as well.
The point of the union would have been to ensure proper training, giving the employees the right to say they need it without being fired as often happens there with the high turnover. They’d have more of a voice. Could’ve helped with what came out last year with employees afraid to speak out down there when problems came out in the media with management pressuring employees to not report problems and instead hide them.
Unions have their benefits but can also be a pain in the but. The union for us is more of a pain in the butt and frankly could use a good flushing at times but I’d still rather have them then not.
So the employees in South Carolina are dumb for not voting in a union? You're a special kind of r—d aren't you? It's called freedom of choice, they didn't want it. You're one of those Boeing employees that's a dyed in the wool union supporter. You really think when the sh@t hits the fan they're going to go out of the way and save you? Wow, I hope you haven't spawned. While there are good employees who work in the Puget Sound area, there's more who should've stayed as janitors and burger flippers. The rework alone on aircraft coming from the factory going to the delivery centers would've bankrupted most smaller companies. That's nothing to be proud of.
But please, continue to drink the union Kool-Aid, you're almost there being a drooling union sheep.
Let’s see....puget sound quality bs carolina...
Again, what’s the reason the EMC exist in the first place dipshit. You’re definitely not a Boeing employee or you’d know what I’m talking about.
If the mo–ns in Carolina had voted in the union in the first place, they’d have been a lot better off than where they’re at right now. High turn over and subpar product plus constant safety violations and employees afraid to voice their concerns is strictly do to being bullied by a union-less, directionless workforce.
There’s are struggles and problems in every area of every large company. But claiming that thousand of us in the puget sound are building a bad product vs what comes out of Carolina is ignorant.
Make yourself a batch of that kool aid and choke it down.
South Carolina builds sh1t airplanes? Have you seen what's been coming out of the Puget Sound area lately?
Open your eyes and lay off the Boeing Kool-Aid.
They should shut it down permanently as they build sh– planes
They’re a big reason why the EMC exists in the first place.
Some customers still won’t take planes from them.
