Boeing sales tumble as the company gets no orders for the 737 Max for the second straight month
You think it had anything to do with those planes breaking apart in the sky?
No, its millennials killing the aircraft industry.
No, they just didn't kill enough whistleblowers...
Sounds like they've entered the, "find out," stage.
They're still working for US Government and have military contracts. They're fine.
The company itself maybe, the people responsible for the downfall not so much.
The C-levels probably got huge bonuses for saving tons of money, while having a super high paycheck anyways and when the boat finally goes down they will just hop into a C-level position at a different company where their main focus will be again to save tons of money.
C-level positions truly are the most insane thing in this capitalist hellhole that we live in. They come and go (usually in a 2-5 year cycle) and their next job is secured no matter their performance.
Makes you long for golden parachutes that don't open when their 737 Max loses an engine or two
The people that set us on this path moved on long ago.
Too bad they're a defense contractor and "too big to fail".
Every one of those lost orders will come out of the pockets of US taxpayers when Boeing is bailed out.
I wonder if the investors are happy yet
The investors that matter, probably. I have little doubt it will be the "little guy" who has a 401k with Boeing investments that takes the hit. The C-suite executives will have golden parachutes, and anyone powerful/rich enough will either insider trade it away or get bailed out.
Good fuck this company. I'm sure all the military contracts will keep their pockets lined unfortunately.
more to the point: fuck the McDonnell Douglas Corporation. Oh, fuck them both, sure, but Boeing died a long time ago. It's just McDD wearing Boeing like a horrific skin suit.

Quick, put some AI in it!
I think they tried that before it was cool. Something about the handling of the newer aircraft that was responsible for a few accidents.
Just fire more of those stupid engineers and scientists and run some more AI on it. Us business majors know best!
"Training data"
Maybe let the engineers take it over again
They're likely the last group the C-suite listens to so it's probably a good idea. Shame it won't happen.
Nobody wants planes that fall out of the sky and lose sections mid-flight? Why not?
What a headline. It literally fell 3%... That's not much. Actually still higher than their April value. They dropped more than 50% in the beginning of the pandemic and have not recovered from that. Whereas Airbus easily pushed higher than pre pandemic level. So yeah not looking good since a long time.
a huge backlog of more than 5,600 orders
Apparently some people with money think there is going to be a big expansion in air travel.
The biggest limiting factor in airplanes is the production speed. Building airliners is slow which is why there are very long waiting lists. Nothing's wrong that's just planes. New planes are cheaper to operate so its a good idea to order new planes even if you're not planning a significant expansion.
This is also why airlines will be slow to react to boeing's safety record in orders. Switching orders means losing your place and going to the back of airbus's waiting list.
Kinda yes, kinda no. There have certainly been times, particularly after 9/11 and various crises, when demand dropped significantly.
There's also airliners that just haven't sold well. A340NG, A380, 747-8, 767-400, the MD-11, until recently the Cseries/A220. The A330neo has also not sold particularly well and you could probably get a slot within a year easily.
Good. It sure would be nice to see a company held accountable for enshittifying so thoroughly.
It's a feature not a bug. Everyone wants easily removable fuselage components.
Decades long FAFO.
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
Get your hands off my phalange!
Good.
I think Boeing have fucked up a little bit
wow, you get one two a handful of planes fall apart in air and suddenly you're not "reliable" anymore. this is woke cancel culture at work!
fucken wokeratti and their ruffles through notes aircraft construction standards.
There's a "vote for strike" sign posted on airport road by their Everett facility. I'm guessing there will be a strike? I didn't see the firefighter strike anymore for a few days now. I haven't heard if they succeeded in what they were looking for.
reaping what they sowed.
They’re too big to fail, so the government will bail them out to some extent. Though at least one’s odds of being stuck on one of their deathtraps the next time they fly will steadily diminish with each year that airlines opt for someone else.
The one where the door fell off? Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
Thanks, democrats...
Imagine being so angry all the time like this guy.
Must be exhausting.
/s ???
Unfortunately, nope..
Yep, just us democrats that hate our planes falling apart in flight!
They're not nearly cool enough to do something like this
Is it because their planes keep falling apart or because they keep murdering people?
It is because they murder them after they report on the whistleblower hotline. You have to act more strategic…
Right? It’s just sloppy to wait til they talk to off them
Yes.
