    Here’s a simple idea for Boeing: stop cutting corners with safety, stop punishing whistleblowers, and act like you’re building products where hundreds of people’s lives are at stake every time they’re in use.
    Seems like pretty no-brainer, business school 101 ideas, but there’s basically nothing corporate executives won’t do to hit their quarterly profit targets, even if it means risking people’s lives.
    This is what happens when your entire incentive structure is aimed at short term gain and not long term growth. Profits > everything, even human life unfortunately.

      Boeing has been extracting money from the company and handing it to shareholders for two decades. Now they're surprised the company is failing at its core mission. They need to re invest in their own workers, capacity, engineering, and quality.
      The problem is that these are all exorbitantly expensive, they won't see returns for years, and they are projects which require years of dedicated focus to complete.
      It was easy to strip mine these things, and sell them off, as Boeing has done for 20 years. They're going to find out it's actually quite difficult to create something. A lot more difficult than it was to destroy and sell of.
      They just gave their ceo, who oversaw the violation of the deferred prosecution agreement and all these safety problems, a 45 million dollar golden parachute. Is it any wonder the company is failing, when the board and c suite are rewarding bad behavior?

    I worked engineering at Boeing Wichita when the Commercial side was sold off to Onex in 2005. A lot if experience older employees were laid off -- everyone knows the main goal was to cut cost. Boeing finally left Wichita completely around 2013 and 2/3 of employees would laid off again to cut cost.
    It is actually Ironic to hear Boeing consider the Wichita workforce again after decades of reporting the need to lower cost.
    I spent decades working for Boeing and never knew if I'd have a job next year. Though in the end they helped me raise my family and financially set me for life.
    Quite bittersweet if I am being honest.

    In 2003, a very senior JPMC person (1 level from exec committee) told me, "great news, we are almost done with corporate integration!". And I was like, "wow, the Chase integration (in 2000/01) is done?". He responded, "god no, I am talking about the Chemical Bank (1996 merger)". Merging large companies and their processes is *VERY* hard. The temptation of a complex org like Boeing, especially when end-to-end quality is a top concern, is to simply add additional layers of governance process, and the direct consequence of such a "bandaid fix" is then production effectively grind to a halt. This simply has a complete disaster written all over it.

    This is the same "long road ahead" script from 2019 when the stock and two planes crashed from $450 a share. The 737 was being produced at a rate of 52/mo before the global MAX fleet was grounded in March 2019. In November 2022, Boeing announced its goal to hit a rate of 50 by the end of 2025. Today, the advertised production rate is 38/mo.
    Cornell Beard, the president of The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, told The Wall Street Journal that continued pressure on employees could be pushing quality control to suffer. He added, “We have planes all over the world that have issues that nobody has found because of the pressure Spirit has put on employees to get the job done so fast”.

    This seems like a structural issue with how executives are compensated. IHMO, the reason the executives prioritized short term profits by selling off core competencies (after redefining the core competency to be w/e has the largest profit margin), squeezing suppliers (driving down quality,) and squeezing the workers (also driving down quality) was because it made them a boat load of money and they knew they would be long gone by the time the chickens came home to roost. If we want executives to think long term perhaps we should demand long term claw-back clauses that require they pay back their compensation if the company implodes after they exit.

    Onex got Spirit in 2005 and then progressively sold it off with last shares sold in 2014. Part of reason was the deal imposed by Boeing on 737 production didn't make Spirit profitable. Either way, when/if Boeing gets its own 737 production, it will need to raise 737 prices to ensure it can deliver a product that works because the current price was not sustainable.
    In late 2010s and early 2020/2021, Bombardier was liquidated to pay debts, leaving it only with what was left of its Business jets division. Bombardier Aerostructures ( formerly Shorts Bothers in belfast) did work for the C-Series (now A220), the CRJ, Bombardier's business jets and more recently some Airbus products. ) Aerostructures was sold to Spirit I beleive in 2020 or 2021 when finalized. But Spirit also had "native" conracts with Airbus in North Carolina.
    The CRJ production is gone. All that is left of Bombardier is the Challenger and global 7500/8000 business jets, and Airbus has the 220 (formerly C-Series) and the 350. It seems to me that it would be easier for Boeing to buy the plants that make the 737 and 787 and allow Spirit Aierosystems to remain as an autonomous company with contracts it had independantly and those inherited from Bombardier Aerostructures.
    (as opposed to Boeing buying Spirit and then spinning off the plants to Airbus).

    As a Quality and Reliability engineer, I know the Boeing problems are not new. In the automobile industry, we had similar issues. Most were solved by getting management committed to quality; involving workers; identifying, correcting, and validating corrective actions. For example, after maintenance service, door plugs blew out. Why? Missing fasteners. This should not happen. For critical repairs, define the service actions in detail, train the people, include check sheets in the process, use automatic torque monitoring and reporting systems. These actions are not cheap since they require management support, but the alternative may be planes full of people falling from the sky.

    Calhoun is saying that the fuselages will be "in near perfect shape" when they ship from Spirit, but they still need thorough inspection when they arrive at the assembly pkant. I still hear Calhoun saying he wants to speed up production at assembly. I want hear a new CEO say he (or she) wants to build a perfect airplane. Calhoun is part of the problem.

      Exactly! A major part of the problem is boing receiving a fuselage in 'near perfect shape'. It should arrive to boing in perfect shape. What good is it to have something manufactured for you and not arrive of the highest quality?

    We all should take into consideration that Boeing is number one in the commercial aircraft building business, if something happen to an aircraft chances are that it will be a Boeing aircraft. But I have a problem with them blaming Spirit! I worked at one of those non union sweat shops building Boeing commercial aircraft structures, some of those schedules were impossible! Then they removed Quality check points to speed up production, then they went to, check your own work! I'm not surprised that parts are falling off in mid air!

    So Spirit let's go of experienced personnel when they probably NEED all hands on deck to make quality controlled Aircraft, that makes sense! Honestly, the mistake was allowing the merger McDouglas with Boeing. Less competition= higher prices, and more monipoly over the industry. We need more Aircraft makers. Maybe Bonbardier or some other maker can become the next big Aircrat maker. One thing is for sure, they're opening up a door to the Chinese Comac and even the Russians if they're not careful.

    I don't know about this strategy. To save costs and increase profit, Boeing for years outsourced to Spirit and at the same time reduced the number of Boeing inspectors. In the door plug case, a Spirit employee removed the door to fix something and reinstalled it; however, there was no inspection of the door after it was reinstalled which Boeing should have done. I suspect Boeing would like to blame it all on Spirit but Boeing clearly failed in their processes.

He’s reportedly getting over $33 million when he ‘retires’. I’m sure a board member gets a great salary. Not bad for driving a company into the ground 🤔

      Not easy, since they moved from Chicago to Renton, Virginia is to get close to their other big customer, the US military. But a good solution would be if they move the commercial part of the business back to Seattle (or even move it to Wichita) while the military unit goes to Virginia.

    If there is a firm out their with the capital, this is a great time to create a new airplane company. With boeing messing up royally, there is a gap in production with demand. If they can build with quality and saftey in mind, there is money to be made. And Airbus cant possibly fulfill all needed orders. With Boeing not having having the proper personnel in charge (engineers and not accountants and stockholders), I dont see Boeing fixing this problem in the near future.
    Us little people should be quite fearful of getting on these planes at this point. I pray there aren't anymore major adverse events with these planes.
