boeing was in huge trouble strategically before covid-19. using covid-19 as cover to give boeing a cash infusion is not very good imho. a cash infusion will not necessarily help boeing and its employees long term. boeing has apparently been doing stock buybacks up until mid 2019. trump has been going soft on boeing recently (1% of the american economy) but even trump can’t reverse the effects of boeing’s bad business strategies.
If I’m going to give Boeing all that money. I would demand the resignation of all corporate officers and Board Members as a condition.
