And when they can't do their job, they threaten their boss with accusations of being racist.

I know how it's done. You can't win with those people.

Shoulda picked our own danged cotton.

So...Boeing, by saying they're going to hire more black employees, just admitted that they're racist because they don't already have all the black candidates who applied to work there.

Really, why would they need to hire more if they've already hired all qualified applicants?

Go down to the Seattle day labor center, hire all the Black faces there, and put them in charge of engineering the MAX improvements.

Let’s face it - they can’t do any worse than the last guys did.

"Can they find the number of black engineers they need to make up the number they’re thinking of?"

No qualifications, other than skin color.

Wouldn’t hiring people based on skin color violate Federal law?

Systemic racism does exist.

NASA asked Boeing to fix 80 issues with the Starliner.
Eighty issues.

The 737 Max has been grounded for a year and a half.
That’s 18 months.

Solution:
Hire people based on their skin tone instead of their competence.

Boeing is dead.

Here comes a ton of H1-B black immigrants.

They have NO intention of hiring black AMERCICANS.

Hiring practices with the qualifier of skin color for choosing equally qualified candidates is racism.

I will never fly again. Haven’t for years. It’s painful and expensive. Boeing has damaged the airline industry by outsourcing manufacturing and programming to low cost vendors and allowing the Chinese to do final assembly of their product. Now they are going to forego competence for skin color? LMAO. Love my F150. It may take longer to get there, but there is more room and I know the pilot.

What he said was a 20 percent increase in black workers. So if the have 10 black workers now, they have to hire 2 more to make that quota. No problem.

I quit flying 20 years ago when they instituted the goon squads at the airports. Can drive anywhere I need to go.

Just wonder that if you “identify as black” could you force them to hire you according to the progressive laws of the state?

Nor do all of the ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ non-jobs that infest corporate hierarchies. This country has done nothing but give and give to this group or that for 60 years. Incredible that a major company like Boeing would do this.

For Boeing to hire more bitter women of color in HR, they’ll have to raid the university workplace and other large corporate “human resource” environs to poach these most valuable “assets”.

Boeing is going to have to let people go because the travel industry is in shambles due to COVID-19 and they have screwed up the 737 MAX due to incompetence. Are they now going to have to let even more people go so they can meet their quota?

Maybe Boeing IS planning on failure or culling out higher paid employees to save cash?
