'They've lost billions': Local economic expert weighs in on recent Boeing layoffs

In an effort to recover from financial troubles, Boeing lays off hundreds of workers. How will it impact Spirit AeroSystems?

It's not just Boeing. The same problem is happening with GM, Exxon, META, Stellantis, Jeep, AMD, etc. And for every person that get's laid off, there are a whole group of people in the support areas that also get affected.

Still can't comprehend why they're laying off with $0.5TRILLION in backorders and half-completed jets sitting around/in storage. Surely there's some design work that could go on for the new mid-market aircraft??

its just laughable that these machinists decided a 35% raise wasn't good enough for them and kept on striking the sinking ship. If it bothered them that much, why wouldn't they go look for a new job that pays more?

I wonder how much the CEO and other leadership made at Boeing as they told their employees to find a new job🤔

1) Observe as an employee your company is doing very horribly with massive losses.
2) Demand a huge raise and hold the company's production hostage until you get it.
3) Express massive Pikachu face surprise when the huge raise forces them to fire you.

This is what you get when you stop teaching things like math in schools. People who can't add up very simple things, and coming to insane and stupid conclusions that just don't add up.

They should go on strike to show the world they are better😂😂😂😂😂

so if the airlines are going down to do, I still need to get a star card or can I say fuck that because I don’t wanna fly anywhere just remember just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean you can’t fly. You need to be there three hours earlier so they can verify you

shame should help boeing get back on track then strike can't win with a company going down
