Boeing Aircraft

[Brent in Az]

Boeing could lose billions with what's been going on, and potentially end up bankrupt.
Who wants to fly on a plane that has a good chance of a catastrophic failure?
The aircraft and airline industry are highly competitive. When you seriously damage the reputation, the consequences are huge.

Someone decided to silence the whistleblower, get even , and put a bullet in his head.

d cost of the product or service being sold. When a new airliner costs more, so do the tickets to sit in one.
I don't disagree that there is a problem with Boeing right now, Alaska Air had a huge maintenance failure, and those on that airplane went through a traumatic experience, but $1B?, not even close to reasonable. And no, I have no connection to Boeing or Alaska Air.

Sorry, but when Volkswagen had to pay $2.8 billion for cheating US emmission tests (in summery more than 25 billion) the 1 Billion for killing people look like a bargain. If they would be treated like Volkswagen they would need to pay Trillions.

The $1B lawsuit was filed by 3 people that weren't killed (just understandably scared). Doesn't even include the kid whose shirt was sucked off. Not reasonable, sorry.
The VW thing is oranges to this apple.

Boeing CEO is stepping down

Boeing CEO is stepping down

He probably has to, but the little I’ve seen would seem to indicate that he is not the problem.

Just like the NFL, it's the head coach that always gets the axe.
These issues need to get cleaned up throughout the entire industry.
How long before we see another catastrophic airplane disaster?

Quite a few are stepping down, not just the CEO.

He will be there thru the end of the year. Another CEO is gone, effective immediately.
A big shake up in management, that I hope finds its way down to the bottom.
Particularly, in the quality control and inspections department.

Changing a culture takes time, time they don’t have.

Boeing’s issues are a result of allowing the Douglas culture takeover the company when the merger occurred. Douglas’ culture was about stock prices and stakeholders. Not about engineering and excellence. Boeing was an engineering company that built airplanes. Douglas had numerous issues with airplanes throughout their history (i.e. UAL 232 and the American flight DC-10 in ORD).

What needs to happen, but won’t, is to purge any and all Douglas people. Then they need to install people that remember and value the Boeing culture. The last great airplane that Boeing designed and built was the 777. That coincided with Boeing BEFORE the merger. Everything post merger had significant issues with it!!!

I worked on the military side of McDonnell Douglas for 10 years. I agree that the Douglas culture was odd, and markedly different than the McDonnell side of the company. However, it won’t be necessary to purge any Douglas people at Boeing. The merger happened in 1997, nearly 30 years ago. The cultural problem that exists today is a BOEING cultural problem.

There are two aircraft companies in the World and one is Boeing.
Their planes are flying millions of hours every day all over the World without incident.
Both Max airplanes which crashed was being flown by foreign pilots who did not have the knowledge to handle the problem. Before the grounding same planes were being flown in US with properly trained pilots with no problems.
The last major airline crash in US was in 2009 and it was a commuter plane.
Boeing story is way overblown because it makes sensational headlines.
Boeing will generate 10 billion dollars free cashflow in 2025 and it's a great company to own the stock.
Today stock closed around $191 and mark my words a year from now it'll gain at least %25-30.

This certainly qualifies as the asinine post of the day.

Approx 70% of Boeing sales are in foreign markets. Those planes need to be controllable by foreign pilots
The hell with public safety, buy Boeing stock, because all the headlines are sensationalized......LOL.
Yeah, and a whistleblower met an untimely demise.

You might want to peruse some of these Boeing max incident's. Not all of them are airplane issues, but most are.

The two MAX crashes that happened which resulted in the grounding of the airplane, I agree that if those issues happened in the US, those airplanes probably don’t crash. The experience of US pilots is far higher than most international pilots. But they did happen…. Boeing put a system on the airplane that was not released to the customers of the jet. In addition, it was based off of a non-redundant system. Very dumb design!!! But so is the whole idea of stretching a 737 beyond its usefulness!!! The 757 is a fantastic airplane to fly and does a great job with its mission. The 737 was designed in the early 1960s and certified in 1967. The jet hasn’t really been updated to modern standards or technology. Just lipstick on the pig…

Post merger, Douglas (I mean Boeing) had significant issues with the 787 also. The airplane was also grounded for a period of time. Boeing needs to take back its company!!!

All true but this CEO is the guy who made the changes that resulted in this mess
