It's a Bloodbath at Boeing​

STEPHEN GREEN | 12:15 PM ON MARCH 25, 2024

It's a corporate management bloodbath for the troubled aviation giant.

"As you all know, the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident was a watershed moment for Boeing,” Calhoun wrote in a letter to employees on Monday. "We must continue to respond to this accident with humility and complete transparency. We also must inculcate a total commitment to safety and quality at every level of our company."

That commitment begins, as it should have long before today, with the figurative seppuku of the company's top management.

It wasn't just the blowout of a door plug on the Alaska Airlines flight in January that brought Boeing to today's massive shakeup, of course. The company's long-festering problems became undeniable in 2018 after a pair of deadly crashes led to certain versions of Boeing's 737 MAX passenger jets being grounded worldwide.

A friend told me they got rid of their assembly inspectors and allowed mechanics to buy off their own work. What could have gone wrong with that idea?

Lol

Of course.... A "friend"

Why didn't President Biden address this?!

If you listened to the words and tone of the statements made by these execs you begin to realize that they're not leaders, they're the next generation of "it's my turn" idjits.

Calling them inept is being kind.

Probably all DEI experts.

Probably all DEI experts.

This assumes they're "experts" at something. Which I find hard to believe.

 

[ll74]

I have many.

Yes, I'm sure your head is full of them.

It's obvious even their skills at playing executives failed.

imaginary ones don't count.

Why is this a shock to people? After decade of deregulation and companies that are legally beholden to make as much money as possible they only care so much if a plane or two falls out of the way. But hey lets keep pushing for smaller and smaller government until they are unable to enforce a goddamn thing.

Boeing fired the only engineer they had on the Board back in 2019 but they have plenty of Accountants, Lawyers, and Merchant Bankers to fix their problems! I read somewhere that Nikki Haley and Caroline Kennedy were also on the Board and found myself wondering "What do they know about the business of making aeroplanes?" It is not an issue unique to Boeing, the Boards of formerly great manufacturers like GM, Ford and Stellantis are scarily similar. These Board members have by and large remained in place far too long, sometimes 15 years Plus.

Yes Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas back in the day. The Boeing name was retained, but the Boeing leaders and engineers who were all about safety and airframe integrity were winnowed out by bean counters and here we are with doors and wheels flying off

Not everybody on a board is there because they are involved with what we might call the meat and potatoes of the operation. I would 100% hire/elect Paris Hilton or a random Kardasian to be the PR arm even if it was as simple as telling people the way phrase things when addressing the public.

This is where Republican calls for deregulating businesses leads to.

Probably all DEI experts.

Nah. You were spoon-fed that narrative from your leash-holders, but they don't give a fuck about that.

They're capitalists. Cutting corners trying to make more capital for the upper class of the upper class. And now the top dogs are gonna bail out with a nice parachute payday for fucking things over.

The kind of people you bend over for thinking having easy money makes them Einsteins.

 

[wizzard426]

Ahahahaha trying to spin "woke" boards as "capitalists"

Not surprising given that the communists present still believe that SOCIALISTS are "right wing"

Back in the day when Boeing and Douglas were great companies they were ran by a single owner that lead without tolerance for failure by an iron fist.

North American Aviation was ran by Dutch Kindlebarger, a no nonsense capitalist. His right hand man was Stormy at NA, after sister company Rocketdyne sent some autopilots that were substandard insisted that every unit be tested before acceptance.

Back in the 60s

So, let me ask.....Why does little words like "accountability and responsibility" scare the communist children so?

 

[Rightguide]

This is where Republican calls for deregulating businesses leads to.

The federal Deep State and Washington State where Boeing is located is dominated by Democrats and their ideological twins.

Yeah, pawn anything inconvenient that happens to your narrative on the nameless "They" or "The Deep State" whch always conveniently turn out to be people in the other party. You're such a partisan hack you don't even recognize how much it's rotted out your brain.

So, prove me wrong. Which unelected beauracrat in a federal office somewhere nixed the regulations of safety and quality of constructing aircrafts at Boeing? Which Democratic politician pushed legislation that deregulated safety and quality standards for aircraft manufacture through the Washington state legislatture. Go ahead. Name them because I remember the Trump administration for four years touting how it slashed regulations to protect the environment and workers and consumers deemed too costly and onerous for the bottom line of industries like Aircraft manufacturers like Boeing.

The mythical deep state bogiemen who are blamed for foiling republican efforts at whatever are really simply apolitical federal employees who do the daily grind of keeping the government wheels turning.
