Quoted: To be fair, there’s a lot of legitimate criticism that cab be directed towards. But yeah, some of these posts and expectations are just way over the top. View Quote @Boomer All of the “It capitalism” “Ukraine!” And “COVID” comments fit into that category. That being said, most agree Boeings culture started its downhill roll when they absorbed McDonald Douglas. Ripples from that acquisition are still being felt today.. |

It’s something far more fundamental than the results of some merger. Boeing is just one of many companies that are suffering from the Finance Curse. Priority number one is to increase the value of the stock so company monies can be slushed off into offshore bank accounts never to be seen again.
The whole concept of having a company that lasts longer than a few years, never mind several generations becomes laughable. |

Boeing has lost its way since the McDonald Douglas merger.
Those people fucked up Boeing and everything after that was icling on the cake. If the TCAS system and all the monkeys fucking a beach ball on the inside of Boeing is found to be the cause Boeing and everyone responsible in Boeing should get enough pain to stop the bean counters overruling the engineers the next time something like this comes across the table. As a former A&P who worked on Boeing products penny pinching on safety is not a good idea with things that fly around full of people and jet fuel. |

The same people who think Alex Jones should owe the Sandy Hook families more money than Poland demands in reparations from Germany... are the same people who want Boeing to pay a pittance.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: This thread sure is bringing out the inner commie in some people. You mean like the employees of Peoples State Aircraft Factory #32, or BCA? Make the rich pay! Yeah, I've got no sympathy for Boeing. Sorry. Boeing for example, spent the 1990s giving favorable lease rates to companies they liked. Legal, sure? An ethical business practice, I'd argue not so much. Boeing loved the Ex-Im Bank for years. Ex-Im funding was helpful to all sorts of foreign companies to drive American carriers out of their markets. Was it ethical for Boeing to enjoy taxpayer funded banking that was paid for by the employees and companies to their detriment. Sure, it was legal? Was it ethical? I'd argue not so much. Boeing certainly loved the DOD among others shotgun marrying their only domestic aircraft competitor to them. Did that benefit Airbus? Yep. Legal, yep. Ethical? Not so much. So, that's a postcard history of 1990s Boeing to the Max debacle, which was its own shit show of regulatory capture among other things. |

Recognize your own fixation on it, it’s comical to a point. Same with the one guy who constantly shits in every sig thread. Eventually it becomes something people on here notice as a consistent issue. |

Great company.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: See this? This is why folks hate lawyers. I hate Boeing too I hate McDonnell Douglas management. Boeing bought MDA in 1997. It's past time to let that go, everything Boeing is today belongs to today's managers and board. The current CEO is a product of the GE system and Blackstone. The company looks nothing like the 1997 or 2000 company from the inside. From the outside you see the propaganda and inadequate reporting from the press; there's no way to know the whole truth without getting on the inside of the company to witness and gain experience first hand. |

Quoted: This thread sure is bringing out the inner commie in some people. View Quote And the usual derp and ignorance. Boeing was never the great engineering company the public imagines. That is a easy to back up by referring anyone that wants to research to the airworthiness directives. Barely adequate engineering of airliners to minimum standards is the real truth, along with repeating the same old bad decisions, although the 787 set a new paradigm. |

Your DIE certification will be supplied by Boeing. Nobody buys that shit but HR Whoosh. My sarcasm was intentionally subtle. When I retired I attempted to cut all ties. I'm getting closer, I guess I'll get another piece of a performance bonus this year. I retired in 2021. I will always receive paperwork for a health insurance option for some retirees; it's so expensive I doubt there are many takers - which would be exactly the way Boeing would structure the option. I no longer pray for Boeing to go out of business, only because I have a handful of friends still working. |

Nobody buys that shit but HR When June comes around, and companies start engaging in degeneracy worship on social media because its LGBT month... all the neo-libs and leftists come out to lick their corporate boots. Fuckers will literally PRAISE SHELL OIL, when Shell is more than happy to give money to the Nigerian government... to get them to murder protestors and villagers for committing the horrible "crime" of living on ancestral lands that the oil companies want to drill. Shell will go out there and fund the 1619 project and tell Americans that the REVOLUTIONARY WAR Was fought over the issue of slavery (Yes, thats what the corporate sponsored "1619 Project" claims). They'll tell you how you're racist, and how you need to change... but then happily murder black people in order to steal their oil. They should go FUCK THEMSELVES. If a Nigerian were to go to Shell's HQ and went in and shot the executives to death who had made those evil decisions... I'd celebrate with a beer. |
