dave calhoon is still giving all of us with a conscience the middle finger. The company does not need his thoUghts and ideas.. KIndly go home and never come back. But if you must, show up and someone will give y0ur own pan and brooom. Sweep up and go home finally having made a difference to the boeing company.

Boeing's been making a habit lately of rotating the bald tires every year or two. This company has been rebuilt over the past 25 years according to the vision and dictates of the Board of Directors (BoD). They appoint the CEOs to execute their vision, and it is the BoD's vision that is flawed. The result has been debacle after debacle, the non-stop gradual but continuous loss of market share, and the capture of all significant markets by Airbus. Now Boeing is approaching a do-or-die point. Can they change direction and move back to being an engineering-first company that is universally admired? I fervently hope so but I'm also skeptical.

Groyper idiot Education Overdue says Boeing's problems are the result of DEI! This is based on zero evidence and zero critical thought.

You cant be to smart to fall for this wedge strategy

USA Today

DALLAS (AP) — The Texas attorney general has opened an investigation into a key Boeing supplier that is already facing scrutiny from federal regulators over quality of parts that it provides to the aircraft maker.

Paxton asked the Wichita, Kansas-based supplier to turn over documents produced since the start of 2022 about communication with investors and Boeing about flaws in parts and corrective steps the company took.

The request goes into detail in seeking internal discussions around Spirit’s efforts to create a diverse workforce “and whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company’s manufacturing processes.” Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit's workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time.

Greg, I don’t think there is an issue in corporate America that Mr Overdue for an education doesn’t blame on DEI. At this point, I think he just does it because he really has nothing better to do than try and stir the pot. One of those people who gets their kicks out of chaos.

Boing has suffered a typical business model, it has been Price Optimized, a previously quality product that has been reengineered and downgraded to reduce costs resulting in a much lower quality product. Many quality companies have suffered by this process. Many companies have not been able to recover from this business model. They are typically sold off to another company.

Personally, I think Boeing needs to be broken into 2 companies; Boeing commercial, based in Seattle headed by a CEO with an engineering backround and Boeing Aerospace and Defense with HQ remaining in Virginia. Moving different chess pieces around to take leadership roles are not solving any of the long term problems associated with Boeing.

This from the Wall Street Journal dated 3/26/24 in the Opinion section titled The C-Suite Cleanup at Boeing. "The good news is that market discipline is imposing its will on the company. This would seem to refute the narrative, popular in the press, that Boeing has faltered because it has put profits above engineering. No company can ignore profitability, and excellence in engineering is critical in commercial success-and thus to profits and the stock price." Translation. Airbus has executed for decades far better than Boeing and this is the fallout for Boeing's failures.

Are DEI programs, as some have suggested, really a major factor in Boeing's current difficulties?

Airbus operates DEI programs and initatives with a workforce from more than 140 nations and more than 20 languages accross their sites worldwide without any apparent problems.

Weak and missdirected management, coupled with almost non existant quality control procedures, are the prime cause of Boeing's problems and only a top down (now started) complete reappraisal of their
operations can rectify the situation. Only the return to sound engineering practices will save Boeing and, to an extent, all other arguments are superfluous.

Wgile most DEI policies are nothing more than a very expensive dog and pony show, and so Airbus, while it's on the DEI train, isn't as dug in as many others. In so far as AirBus is "without any apparent problems", keep in mind DEI was borne and bred in the US by Progessuve lobbyists during the Obama Administration and has only been a "global" initiative for a few years now. Specifically Airbus, only since late 2021. Perhaps they are learning from their own competition to not embrace a losing and very dangerous cause. I believe DEI is a passing fad, as companies are dropping it faster than it took to have it implemented. When the likes of Google, Meta, Telsa, Home Depot and other Silicone Valley companies are eliminating it, you know it doesn't pay the ROI. As u mentioned in a different post, DEI hiring practices are illegal, because it has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence and aptitude! It's about race, skin color, gender. Totally absurd!

I think the chances of Boeing either selling off major divisions, merging, or being taken over outright continue to increase and it's accelerating. Beancounters, not engineers, run the board and the company and have done so for too long. They have a vested and overriding interest in maximizing profits from their investment in Boeing shares. The engineers and management who gave us the B-17, B-52, 707, and 747 must be spinning in their graves. We're witnessing the end of a once-magnificent company. There's no reason to be optimistic about its future any more.

Good ridents to this ultimate corporate hack who most likely brown nosed his way into the executive suite. Clearly he had no interest in building safe and reliable products. His main and possibly only goal was to return as much profit as possible to the board. He's fortunate that to date there has not been any inquiry into possible criminal responsibility for loss of life, nor liability to damages nor loss of multi million dollar equipment. He should be prosecuted and convicted.

I wonder if his DEI policy is going with him? Probably not, they're dug in too deep now. Planes falling apart is acceptable collateral damage.

We hired approximately 23,000 employees in 2022 with equitable hiring practices helping ensure team members reflected the diversity of the communities where we operate.
Women and U.S. racial and ethnic minorities are now more represented at nearly every level, including in executive, manager, engineering, professional and factory positions. While we meet and sometimes exceed industry averages in those areas, we are setting the bar higher.
As part of our commitment to building a diverse talent pipeline, we continue to support our veteran population, LGBTQIA+ community, and those within our workforce who have a disability.
Our Seek, Speak & Listen habits are helping teammates seek out and solve issues before they become problems, speak up to share ideas or concerns, and listen intently to take action when necessary.
