Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Problems

Airbus backlog is double the Boeing backlog. COMAC backlog is already half the Boeing backlog.

Boeing has been selling 737Maxs at a loss since the end of the 20 month grounding. Will the potential Delta sale if it actually happens be the first profitable sale since then? How many 737Maxs will we need to sell to break even given the development and law suit costs? 737Max-10 may need to develop a crew alerting system if not certified this year...and FAA just stated this year certification is not likely.

How many 787s will we need to sell to break even given the development cost and the now nearly one year delivery shutdown for manufacturing defects?

How many 777Xs will we need to sell to break even given the development cost and current non-certifiable FAA status?

How many USAF 767 tankers will we need to sell to break even given the development cost and non-operational USAF status.

What is the status of the fixed price 747-400 Air Force One contract given the mass exodus of suppliers and all the resulting law suits?

How many NASA crew launches will we need to sell to break even on Starliner project given the development cost? And how will it be launched in future since we rely on Russian rocket engines?

How much more Boeing real estate is left to sell off to generate cash flow for executive bonuses?

So yes, Boeing has a few more problems than the recent China accident...

@mzn,

Maybe you get it...or maybe you are one of the Boeing mercenary stock hawks...

There are many clueless investors that still own Boeing stock recalling the days when it was artificially boosted by Boeing stock buybacks and mercenary stock hawks to $450/share. So there are still plenty of clueless people that still think Boeing is a viable company and will clobbered when it nose dives like their airplanes. And there are still plenty Boeing mercenary stock hawks propping it up for the last wave of upcoming Boeing executive severance packages.

Apathy, greed, lack of experience and general engineering/ management incompetence has long been known to be the downfall of Boeing. We can now add dr-g use to the list.

I imagine some people need to drink heavily or take dr-gs just to tolerate working there.

Boeing is doomed to the corporate dumpster of history. It can lay in the dumpster with Kodak, Sears, Blockbuster, Enron etc etc

Next Boeing quarterly report will be released 27 April. How many years can you continue to lose market share and money and still stay in business? I guess it helps own the best government people that money can buy.

Please keep updating and posting this. It's a much better picture of the "new" Boeing reality than you get from their endless stock hawk mercenaries.

Boeing ULA launch business is also in jeopardy now that Russia is no longer supplying their rocket engines and the Blue Origin rocket engines that were to eventually replace them have become fictional like 777X.

This is a good post because the dense mo--n execs and their clueless suck-ups still don't get it. Boeing is a doomed Cluster F of an operation because of the incompetent execs. The upside is, America will be better off without Boeing sucking off the teets of the taxpayer and delivering POS "aircraft" like the KC-46 PIGasus tanker, the MAX , 787 Doomliner, 777x in return. It will be a great day when Boeing files Chapter 11 and disappears from the corporate landscape of Amerika and ends up in the garbage can of history just like so many other incompetently managed companies. No one will miss Boeing.

For decades customers would buy airbus only because there was not a slot available on the Boeing line in the timeframe they needed.

Now it’s the complete opposite. Now the customers only by Boeing when there’s not a slot available in the air bus line when they need it.

The decision to go with the 777X and the 737 max instead of a 737 replacement is the worst decision any CEO at the Boeing company has ever made. They are trying to compete with air bus with an airplane that was originally designed in the 1960s. Only a CEO from a paper supply company could make such a bonehead decision.
