With China now coming on line with commercial aircraft, Boeing has to FORMALLY DECLARE that DEI is dead in all aspects of the company, or they’ll soon be out of the civil aircraft business, and possibly completely out of business. This will have to involve firing their DEI ‘overhead’, as it’s reached the point where it can no longer simply be ‘absorbed’.

At that point, it will be up to the Democrats as to whether to destroy Boeing for not ‘playing along’

Or how unions ruined a once fine company, which, at one time, was the 2nd largest factor in the US Balance of Trade.

Boeing is having SEVERE sourcing problems since Vlad reverse sanctioned then on titanium, and other metals. Rolls Royce engine even worse….same same with our defense companies.

What about Airbus? They are still getting materials from Russia, how?Bypassing Joe’s brainless sanctions, third parties, other countries, and even rumored they accepted Vlad’s terms, payment to be made in rubles or gold….Russia has HUGE resources the West needs and relied on.

Good job, brain dead Joe, your “ Sanctions” have back fired immensely.

Boing has blamed Micky D for their woes but Micky D is not the problem. It was the leverage buyout created under the Clinton administration that caused Boing to get to big for their britches. It also created a one size fits all company with a near monopoly on civil and military aviation industry. When there is no longer any competition you can pretty much do whatever you like. This sparked a huge opportunity for Airbus to encroach on the US aviation marketplace. Boing has made their bed IMHO, let them wallow in it.

Something simple like installing and tightening a bolt has nothing to do with supply chain issues. Why in the f*k are not fasteners being installed?

I work on machinery that thank God never leaves the ground. We use build modules (basically a visual display board that has every part required) for every semi-important assembly operation. Several different people are involved in populating the module, delivering the module to the assembler, retrieving the depleted module back for refill. The whole point is to account for every part. Make sure 100% of the needed parts are given to the assembler. Make sure all the parts are used.

There is insane negligence going on that permits an aerospace vehicle carrying millions of passengers to have such elementary problems. What appears to be absent is having rigor, rigor, rigor part of the culture.

The vehicles I work with won't kill you if they fail. Boeing on the other hand...
