I don’t want to be the bandwagon guy. But this is the first flight I got on since the latest round of news.

Essential or not. Pieces of the plane should stay intact during a regular flight.

Dave got a 45% raise from 22-23

dc got a 45%bump and I got less than 3% (met). Pretty sure his CR is over 1.1 before that raise.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/05/business/boeing-ceo-pay/index.html

At least he turned down a $2.8M performance bonus for the improvements in 2023 compared to 2022.

Guidance on choosing a masters or Certificate for LTP

Hi I’m seriously considering using LTP to pay for schooling in the near future, issue is I don’t want to get an MBA and add to the GE leadership styles lol, my undergrad is in criminal justice (Bachelor of Arts).

What are some good certificates or even degrees that teach hard skills and that are beneficial to the business or Aerospace, that I should look into?

I’m very upset

It pains me to say this but what Boeing has done the last ten years is terrible all in the name of dividends and stock price.

I remember when I was a kid and being amazed at the Dreamliner and always wanting to be on a Boeing plane when flying back to visit family afar.

Boeing was such a cool name in the aviation industry and to see these greedy fucks ruin a once great American company in the name of profits is appalling.

I don’t get why they’ve decided that safety/qc can come second did the big wigs think they’re in the automotive industry did they think they’re Tesla?

And with whole MAX fiasco and how they’ve decided we’re not going to the R&D we gonna leave it to the vendors and that just scotch tape the parts into a new plane that is ridiculous. No wonder they don’t understand the door plug from the Alaskan airlines flight.

I am not saying the workers on the floor or the engineers in the office is at fault for any of this, it’s obviously the higher ups and the decision makers.

I’m just saddened that a once cool and awesome American company is getting it’s reputation dragged in the dirt due to a few greedy ass motherfuckers.

Why doesnt Boeing back up the truck for stud engineers?

FWIW, I am talking software. In my program, we have a lot of meh engineers who barely get their work done. There are a few though that are relative gods who if they cut all of the fat, I believe could together churn out more code and features instead of dealing with those who write bad code that takes away a lot of time from the good ones. The ‘mehs’ just hang around and clog up the system while the studs pop in, sometimes stay for some reason, but most of the time move elsewhere for more money.

I only care about this now because I am now in a technical leadership position, and it has become apparent the people who just gum up the system, don’t perform and aren’t fired.

Why do we disperse all of this money to potatoes and not just keep the good ones?

Green Lights

IAM 751 member, my 6 year wait is a year away, and I was a part of the workforce that got laid off for a little over a year with the max crashes and covid fun we all had, but I had all my green lights to be in the job code I am currently in 20104, when I came back on my recall and I stared looking into my green lights to get on flight line (I have my AF & PP license) I noticed I only had 2 out of the like 10 green lights on. Career advisor told me I would have to do them again, and they can’t be turned on even though they are the lights required to work my current job code.

Management told me if I want to turn on my green lights for the literal job I am currently doing, it will have to be off hours. Feels like on paper/ in the system I’m “not qualified” to do my job in practice, knowledge, and education, yes I am more then qualified. I was gonna get my green lights for my current job on cause it covers like 5 basic green lights you need for any fab or assembly job at Boeing. But I’m being told I can’t get my green lights on for my literal job I am CURRENTLY working, does this make since to anyone? The new hires are getting these lights on from what I hear btw.

Certified letter from Fidelity???

I got a certified letter from Fidelity yesterday stating I have an outstanding check from the company 401k retirement plan. They are asking me to update my current address. (I have been in the same residence for my entire tenure at the company). They aren't asking for any additional info, so it seems like a legit letter. But, why mail me a letter asking me to update my mailing address, why not just email me? When I go to Fidelity's website it tells me my address must be changed via the company (Boeing) website. There is also a phone number to call but have yet to call them.

Has anyone else received one of these? Am I being scammed?

Edit: apparently they mailed a check back in June 2020 that was never cashed. They said to be on the lookout for another check in the next 10 weeks.

Asc Multi Discipline Engineer at Boeing Seal Beach

Anyone from Seal Beach or former employees can give me insight into what this role is like? I’m coming from the flight test world and was wondering how the culture is like for this particular role. Building 80!

I have an interview coming within the next few days. Would love to get some insight. I know this particular process is all STAR questions for the majority.

Thanks!

Calhoun exiting with $24M

And over 175k stick options with a strike price $259-261, which would be another $45.5M if the stock gets there.

https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/business/boeing-ceo-dave-calhoun-to-walk-away-with-24m-payout-despite-failures/

Edit: the options expire in early '31 & early '32. Plenty of time for him to collect.

Workplace coaches

Currently have 18 years at Spirit. Under the current contract, if you take the workplace coach position, your seniority is frozen and reinstated if you decide the position is not for you and go back to the floor. Is this the same case at Boeing?

Boeing SC

I use to work at BSC, Final Assembly POS 2 AFT. I was just wondering how things are going there? I really enjoyed my time there, a lot of overtime. But greener pastures open up for me with Boeing Defence in Saudi.
