Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

The folks in the know, already know that Boeing won't be catching up with Airbus or in the commercial transport airplane business in the future and they are currently preparing for this eventuality. New airplane development has become too costly/risky, profit margins have become too small and COMAC will ultimately become the dominant player in the years to come.

HA ! Boeing is completely incapable of conceiving or manufacturing anything that would even be remotely considered best of market....Boeing is like GM was in 1982, we will stop the inroads made by Mercedes and BMW by offering the Cadillac Cimmaron....Boeing is doomed !

Catching-up is likely a fool's game. The near term game should-be a strategic shift to a premium product offering in commercial airplanes - rather than treating our products as commodities that are interchangeable with Airbus's offering (that's a race to the bottom). A focus on profit per unit, versus number of units sold. That restores pride in product within the company (engineers, manufacturing, etc.), and creates a demand for the best in the market. It's not an easy shift, nor a fast one - but it is the position from which we started the market competition with Airbus.

Take the bait

To answer your question, Boeing is staffing a design center in India.

I hope Boeing's safety waiver for the Max-10 gets denied. It will be fun to watch the Max-10 get canceled and the company implode as well as all the associated mental diarrhea.

How Can Boeing Catch Up to Airbus?

Solution/Answer #1) The solution per the Boeing CEO is to reduce the number of US domestic employees and increase overseas hiring.

Solution/Answer # 2) The company recently told Reuters it plans to plunge the company into the so-called “metaverse,” an immersive environment where human workers are digitally linked to machines and other workers using virtual reality and augmented reality. “It’s about strengthening engineering,” Boeing’s chief engineer, Greg Hyslop, told Reuters. ”We are talking about changing the way we work across the entire company.”
