Afternoon everyone, PLEASE read my full message. I could really use the help right now.

I’ve been working at Boeing for right at a year now, and I just turned 21. I’m an assembly mechanic at BDS St.Louis, and I absolutely love my job and I enjoy working for Boeing.

However, I feel stagnant in my current position and would like to learn more about aviation to enhance my career.

I would like to get my A&P License, get into Aerospace Welding, or precision machining. I want to get into either of these things because I am passionate about all of them, and I have a mechanical background with prior welding experience.

The issue is, I live 1.5 hours away from Boeing and commute 75 miles to and from work every day. I would like to return back to school through the learning together program, but I don’t know if I physically would have the time to go to school and then go to work in the same day.

Does anybody have any suggestions or does anybody know about taking an educational leave of absence?

Don’t want to lose my job, but I want to further my education to advance my aviation career within Boeing.

Thank you all so much, God bless 🙏

Hello,

I interned this past summer and need to access my W2. Will it eventually be mailed to me? I cannot access the Secure Logon portal because I no longer have a work computer

Maybe I’m overthinking it all, but it seems like being the nations largest exporter is a fairly precarious spot to be in right now. Any thoughts?

oof, not a good look, again asking for exemptions will be interesting to see how this plays out.

What other companies out there in SoCal apart from the prime contractors (Northrop, Raytheon, Lockheed, etc.) will offer to pay back LTP debt if one decides to leave the company before the 2 year retention is up? Wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Advisory to everyone affected by the RIF. My final check was short. Layoff day 1/17. Last day paid on check was 1/14. 24 hours paid for week of 1/10-1/16.
Be sure to log into work life and view your final checks. Call in if it is not correct.

I was one of the layoffs. I’m trying to pay for our cobra and the page keeps saying this? Cannot find a “pay now” button. I’m confused on why it says no payment due at this time? We were told we needed to pay on the first to continue coverage. Can anyone help?

If it does can you use it before accumulation of hours? Family member been there 2 months stated it did not matter if he was new it did not matter if he was there a week or 90 days that he can call off sick up to 80hours and get paid- so far he’s missed/called off 12 days of work with no consequences in his first 9 weeks! I, myself find find that odd no probation you can work there a day and take off 3 days and be eligible for PTO? I thought you had to “ build up that reserve” and also is it true that the first 90 days does not “ apply” that your start date does not include 90 days or any probation?? So it makes no difference? Just take a day whenever use any, most, all of your PTO in the first 9weeks? Bosses at Boeing don’t care? So you can call off & your not going to be seen as an undesirable worker and or loser for This is the difference in the world of aeronautics? I’m really confused by this. Thank for responding

Considering moving on to something new. Anyone with an LE/MRB background make any big changes? I've worked myself into a niche and just wonder what options there might be.

Anyone know the inside story on this one?

Hi, I am working for Boeing as purchased labor at Huntington Beach. Now I want to switch agencies. However my manager doesnt know any agencies and she looks confused. Can you please recommend any purchased service agencies which cater to Boeing Huntington Beach. Please seeking urgent help.

Do managers have access to view an employee's available PTO hours and when we are close to being at Max hours?

Thanks for sharing any insight.

EDIT: Thanks to those who provided helpful comments. I know where to view my PTO hours and view of Max accural. ..Just asking out of curiosity on what a manager can see.

I’m curious what is an expected pay bump if I went thru with it?

Looking at the SJCS chart for my job code and difference between each bracket (min, mid and max) is roughly 20-30k apart. Is this a fair expectation to receive a 20k pay increase from L2 to L3?

Thank you so much in advance.

If you could multi-bag a return on investment almost overnight, would you?

Airplanes manufacturers are reportedly behind 1,500-4,000 jets (don't forget Boeing also has a backlog of over a half trillion dollars). Why in the world aren't we capturing that as soon as ridiculously possible?

Let's ballpark this.

1,500 jets at a conservative $100M average = $150B. What investment would make that possible to rapidly overcome? 1 billion? 5 billion? 20 billion? Say it's pricey - say it's $20 billion. That's a 550% ROI. Say it's $5 billion - that's 2800% ROI! Why are we just sitting on our hands? This is a Nvidia, Tesla, or Netflix (back in the day) type opportunity here.

Boeing has $26 billion in cash and cash equivalents, plus a $10 billion untapped credit line - why in the world are we just doing what we've always done? Are we all really okay with this slow decline? Deploy the cash, Boeing.

LET'S GET GOING!

Thank you for listening to my rant.

Execs and corporate employees get a bonus when they do half the work and cause most of the problems.

Make that make sense.

This terminology needs to be deleted from all emails and distributions. With (most of) BDS not getting a bonus this year, yet certain groups within BDS getting quarterly bonuses as well as the COLA, this is not the “One Boeing” vision that they portray.

I work in an area where we have the same leadership, yet are siloed differently and don’t reap the same rewards for getting the same product out the door. Changes really need to happen or they’ll lose even more knowledgeable individuals in these areas.

Well the day came, they sent it out like others said on 1/30.. but it was short. I got a text today from someone else who was laid off asking if mine was short too. Anyone else get screwed on their severance as well? If benefits weren't coming out (I understand taxes) how tf is it still so short?!
This is messed up....

Wait so is it 0% bds for the entire bonus or just the division variable?

Any guesses why Boeing hasn’t published their 10K yet? Wasn’t their earnings call yesterday?

Does anyone know when Boeing mails W2s? I was employed there last year until October. I’m just waiting on my W2 so I can file our taxes but not sure when it will be sent out. Thanks

So I had been able to log into work life, even after my end date, to check my pay stubs. But now all of a sudden it allows me to log in with my BEMS and my password, and then it sends me a text code, but then it just says "successfully logged in" with nothing else on the page....🤔

Did anyone get Ticketmaster email yet for the tickets?

How do I transfer to BGS? That is all.

Place your guesses. Word is this poll is 100% accurate 1% of the time.

The incentive score (the variable aspect of the bonus) for 2024 will be:
