I have been looking thru workday to see job postings, and seems like there is $3 extra for having this thing?
I have searched thru HR search bar, but I could not find any info about it.
Is there a bulletin board or channel on our internal network where we can share or exchange opinions anonymously?
Sometimes, we want to vent about things we are uncomfortable discussing publicly. If it were an internal network, there would be no complete secrets. If a problem occurred, a specific department would be able to find out who was who, but I think an anonymous bulletin board (where nicknames were used instead of names) would create a more diverse forum for opinions.
I just got the org announcement from Kelly’s office. Our new Chief Information Digital Officer & Senior VP of IT&DA is Dana Deasy.

This should be interesting, hopefully in a good way.
Took this shot at Dubai Airshow 2023 and what a spectacle to watch it upclose, especially the folding Wingtips which is an engineering marvel, miss the Airshow fr. The delays in delivery is what's concerning right now.

Will this year's schedule be affected by last year's RIF?
Anyone know if RIF employees are still getting the HSA contribution from Boeing? Last year it was issued on Jan 5th. Wondering if I need to wait till next week to see it?
Been working at Boeing for about six years now. Was a shot peen operator and an in tank sealer.
I made a blunder that has caused me to lose the job. This changed the trajectory of my life significantly, and would like some advice from people on here.
In my thirties now, and was hoping someone on here could perhaps point me in the right direction. Being from Washington, I know that aerospace jobs are quite abundant, but I'm not sure where to look and where to start.
If anyone that has been in a situation that I have been in can suggest where to start searching, I'd very much appreciate it. Otherwise, any advice would help, thank you.
Anyone check their pension payout figure? Seeing if mine is messed up or if it's supposed to be insultingly low where no one would accept a payout.
Really stupid set of events that are completely my fault. Forgot to enter time on 13 December before heading out on a week of paternity leave. Resulted in an 8 hour pay shortage. Is there a way to fix this via retroactive PTO or should I just eat the loss? Thanks in advance.
Who do I contact about my paycheck missing overtime hours i put in last week? My manager didn't sign my time until yesterday so looks like they didn't give me the overtime because my manager didn't approve it on time🫤
Emailed boss last Thursday that I’d be unable to sign time. Said it was good. Signed time Friday. When’s the pay period for this week? Any calendar? Wanna make sure I get my full paycheck. Thanks - an incompetent employee
Hello, I recieved my new blue cross blue shield insurance cards. This upcoming year 2025 Jan 1st my wife will be covered under my health and dental insurance and I was wondering if she will recieve insurance cards as well? Is the insurance card required to schedule a doctor's visit or can I give her my card even though it has my name on it? I have an extra copy of my insurance cards.
Apologies if it's a stupid question, newly married so I'm learning as I go.
Hey guys, I am 26 years old with a mortgage. I am currently making 80k a year at Boeing in non onion but have been offered to go to the air traffic control academy in okc for 6 months. The pass rate is 60 percent which makes me nervous. Is it worth it to leave Boeing for this even with the pass rates? Is this something Boeing would approve for LOA as it is a government job? I really would just like some personal opinions on this as it is a big deal and something I would love to get into
recently got hired on to a new position but it's not what I thought it was going to be. I find the role to be quite boring and it feels like a lot of busy work. I've been in this new role for about 7 months and already want to transfer out. What's the procedure or penalties for it?
I know someone who has been on leave at Boeing for almost 2 years. I'm 99% sure the person can still come back too. Like, the person hasn't been let go. Is there a limit to how long you can be on leave? Or can the person truly be on leave forever if they wanted to? Does it depend where you work at Boeing?
I feel like I don't really see any policies about this anywhere. So, I'm just curious about the policy.
I was thinking maybe employees who have been at the company a while have additional PTO hours that are specifically used for medical things. So maybe the person took all the leave time plus the medical PTO time.
I’ve done a bit of research, and I have somewhat of a plan. I just need some recommendations on it. I take engineering classes in school, and I’ve been taking the Aeronautical Engineering summer course and in the future the normal courses at PSSC, which I know Boeing hires people from. This is probably an important part, but my dad is doing the job I want to get, so he could also probably recommend me (though I’m not entirely sure if he could). Also I'm not going to go to Aviation because i want to be around all my friends.
Has anyone here worked for Boeing at the Qatar Air Base? If so what are the benefits and cons to going there. It says it’s a 2 year assignment.
They are going to get a lot of government contracts anyways
This is the airport where a 737-800 belly landed and killed 100+ passengers today (possibly due to bird strike and landing gear malfunction)… it’s another sad day for aviation… just out of curiosity if they were to land the plane on nearby water instead… would that be a better choice to save more people?

The event was tragic but it’s worth seeing all of the facts before people draw judgement. Atleast at a glance the plane is on its second owner and 15 years into service. Interested to see what their maintenance logs look like and metrology, etc..
Tragic none the less, but perhaps airlines need additional guidelines when assessing aircraft’s during their routine audits.
At what point can we shift some or partial responsibility to the airlines to maintain these logs and do the bare minimum or (though ideally higher ) to ensure product safety.
The full video shows that one engine failure first, and the landing gear didn't work on landing.

When I watch airplane crash news, I look at the type first.
We keep hearing bad news about the company.
I am wondering what caused the crash. There has been a lot of bad news about the Boeing 737, and there will likely be many nasty rumors even if no results come out yet because of recent situations.
-----Updates------
Two survivors and rest are presumed dead. Unable to find more than 80 passengers, marking them as missing but presumed dead. (official)
Crashed on the second landing after a go-around following a failed first landing attempt. (official)
Question: I am wondering whether they tried to use a manual gear extension or not.
