    Fianceé’s dad is a Senior Level Employee and he was told he’d be safe for at least the first 2 rounds of layoffs, but they couldn’t guarantee he’d survive round 3. Expect two more cullings and for them to get increasing severe: if a ~20 year Boeing vet, 40 year industry vet, working the worst hours with the worst people isn’t safe, nobody except the executives are (he is forced to comply with another country’s work hours halfway across the world AND be present in the office for normal working hours).

    Yeah, let’s get rid of the people who do the work, and not say anything about changing the decision process that led to no one wanting to buy the airplanes anymore.

    That oughta do it. If we fire enough people, we can sell 1 airplane per year and stay profitable. It literally can’t fail.

      They don’t need to sell anything to stay profitable, they just need to tip the right people to get the subsidies rolling in
