Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Crestview Aerospace is hiring

Best place to work EVER!

No way! Made sure all my children did something other than engineering or manufacturing related careers.

Aviation is far too unstable of a market. It is also dominated by large woke corporations. To be happy in aviation, it would be best to stay with a small company with the knowledge that some day they will sell out and you will probably want to then leave.

Aviation is an exciting industry, but there is no need to work at a large company to enjoy aviation.

No, I wouldn't recommend aerospace or Boeing given where future is headed.

Simple Flying? Yes, that is indeed a Boeing lobbyist propaganda network that runs Boeing trivial stories ad nauseum. Similar to Fox News. Just research where their revenue comes from. These sort of networks just give people a place to hear what they want to hear and believe even though there is no basis in reality. People often prefer delusion over reality. Especially people who don't think and can be easily emotionally manipulated.

Yeah, both Condit, Stoneciper and some executives were forced to leave Boeing because they got caught. I even remember some of the better executives who didn't like way the company was going retire a couple years before their 55 early retirement age by using their executive deferred salary income and negotiating buyout. Of course, by then, Boeing had already been placed into an irreversible nose dive.

I wouldn't recommend aerospace as a career. The US has pretty much become a service economy. Don't even waste your time going to college. Get your plumbing or electrician license or some such and start you own company. You will do so much better money wise and you won't have to deal with a low quality boss like the poor people still stuck at Boeing.

I love working at the Lazy B ! My job takes me 3 hours to do ..lol ! 5 hours to do absolutely nothing ! Maybe catch the Down Fall tomorrow. Thanks Boeing for treating me so good !

Canned...Hahahahaha! It was nearly impossible to fire anyone at Boeing. Well, maybe some CEOs in recent years for ethics violations. But they all received multi million dollar severance packages. And all normal employees then had to take annual ethics training.

The only way to get rid of normal Boeing employees was via general layoff. But the thing was, the best highest performance people would always work the system to get a lower totem rating to allow them to receive an incentive layoff (like year of salary severance package) to enable them to retire early or to go to work for a better company and for more pay.

I am sure things are different now...there are no more high performance employees...hahahahaha!

The Boeing PR band continues to plays on...

Unless you will be working in Europe or China, I would NOT recommend the aviation field as a career.

What Boeing did is unforgivable and the people that did it got away with millions. That generates a lot of hate. I feel sorry for the few decent people still left at Boeing given that the company is hopelessly doomed given how poorly managed it was and still is. But one would be d-mb to get an aerospace engineering degree in general and d-mber than d-mb to work for Boeing.

@2pob+1fo5lgJH

I know, words are hard for you, Boeing does not employ the best and brightest, so I will help you.

The question posed was: "Do you ever recommend aviation field as a career?"

The key word there being AVIATION

The Boeing dregs here talked about not reccomending a job at BOEING only.

BOEING is a proper noun and the name of a single AVIATION company (one of many)

AVIATION is an industry the includes, but is not limited to Boeing.

So, yes, I would reccomend a career in aviation, just not at the specific company.

If you go get an education and some skills, you can get a better aviation job than Boeing.

This site is about stuff that affects Boeing layoffs...like Boeing going out of business... Anyone competent or honest that ever worked at Boeing hates Boeing... Anyone who lost loved ones because of Boeing corruption hates Boeing... Go hang out at Simply Flying if you want to read good stuff about Boeing by the corrupt Boeing PR people.

You all can't see it, but the posters here and Boeing deserve each other. The arrogance of Boeing is well known, but the arrogance of the employees who post here is just as strong.

The post was about a career in the aviation field. And all you can discuss is a career at Boeing. That is arrogant thinking that Boeing is the only aviation company.

You know the aviation field is larger than Boeing right?

There are airline companies, engine companies, avionics companies, business jet companies, and yes, even other commercial jet companies.

But the arrogance of Boeing employees is unmatched. Boeing is the only thing that matters.

You truly deserve each other.

You're all correct. Nepotism is an epidemic at Boeing.

Yes, but not a career at boeing. It was great once but no more. Try spacex, airbus...

Yeah, the best thing (pretty much the only thing) Boeing has these days is an aggressive PR department.

Don't waste your time getting an Aerospace engineering degree. And don't waste your time working for the likes of Boeing either.

Looks like the Boeing PR band is working overtime to obfuscate negative Downfall sentiment. Boeing will still sink into the depth of irrelevance and obscurity.

The only thing lower on the engineering totem pole than aerospace engineering is forestry engineering and industrial engineering. Not that any of these engineering disciplines are not worthy or beneficial to society, more that they can be accomplished by much lower caliber people.

There have been many Boeing executives with these sort of marginal engineering degrees and even some with fake degrees. These plus some good nepotism and a 12 week business management certificate from some college that Boeing donates money are the rising executive stars that have been leading Boeing the last couple of decades.

Aerospace engineering has always been a feast or famine industry. Aerospace engineering has always been the major and career path for engineering students who couldn't achieve the other more demanding engineering branches such as electrical or mechanical engineering.

With Boeing on the way out and far fewer US Aerospace positions available, I wouldn't expect intelligent younger people to pursue Aerospace engineering unless they had an absolutely certain nepotism path to take advantage of allowing them to quickly join the Executive ranks.

If you are going into engineering without any nepotism self-entitlement advantage, get your State Professional Engineer license (this requires an engineering degree from accredited engineering school, 5 years documented actual engineering experience mentored by a PE and passing a couple vigorous engineering tests) in Chemical, Civil, Electrical or Mechanical engineering, consult or job shop on a contract basis and start your own engineering company.

Don't fall into the trap of working for a company like Boeing that will treat you like dirt (unless you happen to be the daughter or son of a previous Executive) and put you in unethical situations that will keep you from sleeping at night.
