I’d rather Boeing go under and the government seek aerospace contracts and weapons from one of the many other companies that are part of the military industrial arms complex in our nation.
Only now is 60% of their bonus structure is focusing on Quality Control when millions of lives are at stake from the aircraft they produce. Wow. Unbelievable
@@BlownMacTruckIt's a play on the old Boeing motto. Back then they were the quality, not budget aircraft and the motto was, "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going."
@@IRACEMABABU Except we get it. It's not interesting, insightful, or funny. If anything, it just tells you how mindless the poster is for regurgitating it.
A lot of people start to cleverly travel on non-Boeing planes, then it's not a bad or stupid joke but a reality saying. You don't like it ? Up to you. Have a nice day@@BlownMacTruck
They're only getting hit financially since the door plug? What about the two fatal plane crashes due to their choice to avoid training pilots on the MCAS system to save money with their clients and make the most profit. This is just despicable! The fact that no one was held accountable for that. The fact that they're still in business. Their actions are criminal!
Boeing definitely took a hit financially following the two plane crashes with the MCAS update. Boeing refused a government bailout during the coronavirus pandemic because the loan came with some conditions (I believe the condition was the federal government/taxpayers would have a stake/own equity in the company). Instead, Boeing received $25 billion in private funding from a bond offering in 2020. Boeing was eventually fined $2.5 billion in 2021 by the Department of Justice for a conspiracy to defraud the FAA over the 737 MAX MCAS situation.
@@ceasetheday87 Hey thanks for the update and info. I think at the time I looked into things, it may have still been too soon after the crashes. That’s great to hear about the $2B fine. Of course they sourced some private equity to continue running things under terrible conditions. Unbelievable!
@@Kson7491 You probably still want to double check my facts. I started following it off and on after a certain point, maybe around 2022. I have recently looked into it again and edited my previous comment. EDIT: But somehow my previous comment was suspiciously deleted. 🤷♂️ I repeat Boeing was fined $2.5 billion by the Department of Justice for conspiracy to defraud the FAA regarding MCAS.
I hope the Federal government does not bail these clowns out. They have proven from the top down that they are incompetent and have shady business and safety practices…
Yeah, the A320 Neo seems much more appealing and a better platform all around. American Airlines would have been better off not getting swayed by Boeing when they told them they're going to go with Airbus to replace the 737 fleet.
As Warren Buffet said, "It's okay to lose a lot of money; it's not okay to lose a shred of reputation." Now, because they first focused on money, they are not only losing reputation but also more money than they exchanged for that reputation in the beginning.
Ah, even that headline makes me sigh. Them saying they don’t have enough cash-I can just hear them gearing up to ask for a bailout. Break up the monopolies! (And duopolies!)
Because they’re ultra rich. They shouldn’t have to pay taxes or be accountable to anything. They should get more tax payer bailouts. And then raise ticket costs immediately on the tax payer and add more luggage fees and smaller seats.
Yep. And then they call it “capitalism.” It’s not. True capitalism, the CEO and company would actually take a hit and lose substantial money and then have to readjust. But that will never happen. We have monopolies and oligarchies.
Good. Boeing CEO, board of directors and shareholders have the highest IQ among corporate leaders 😂 Keep looking into Excel and coming with more crazy ideas such as firing quality inspectors 😂
So it turns out that corporate greed and putting profit before quality is bad for business. Tough lesson to learn, Boeing, but you earned all the crap that you're getting.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for Boeing? This is what happens when you try to be cheap and have no regard for safety and human life in a business that requires you to. If they had done things right, they wouldn't have put themselves in this position. This is due to their own stupidity and greed.
Ironic that "optimizing for shareholder value" damaged shareholder value. Shareholders are not happy. Employees are not happy. Execs are not happy. Why are companies always so shortsighted?
They cut corners to “increase” profits, then when they have to spend money they start whining. Govt will probably step in and help them out. Makes me sick as a business owner. Its my job to perform quality work, provide a desired product, and manage the incoming revenue, which includes accounting for potential costs associated with fulfilling responsibilities and liabilities.
The scary thing is that Boeing lawyers have probably told the business executives. Hey, if we have to pay out some wrongful death suits every once in a while, it’s just the cost of doing business..
Just goes to show that being cheap is not a replacement for being careful and systematic about spending. When you're cheap, the bill is not lowered, it's delayed.
Of course it is. When you don't budget for real maintenance and then have to pay to perform real maintenance, you wind up spending money you didn't expect.
They need to pay the price for their corporate greed. Governments should restrict them from stock buy backs. Unless the government is in bed with them!
Of course they are. They pay for the campaign of both Democrats and Republicans, so no matter who wins, they have Congress and Government in their pocket.
Interestingly enough, Boeing wouldn’t have these cash-flow issues if those bean counters in senior leadership wouldn’t have cheaped out in the first place.
It's ironic how Boeing wanted to save money by re-fitting a 50 year old plane and ended up spending so much money on fixing it. I heard once: "We don't have time to do it right, but time to do it twice!". I hope this will make more CEOs aware of the consequences when chasing after shareholders profits. It is not sustainable. It's not good for the customers. It's not good for the company.
Yes, sure! But I wonder... How is it possible for the agent at the gate to allow two passengers get into the plane with the same ticket in the first place? Weren't they using a scan reader?
@@MarceloTrindade1I’m just guessing that the scan reader reads a duplicate scan as passenger accidentally scanning twice, and just gives a confirmation that the code is valid or not.
As he was explaining the "traveling work" thing all I could think of is wow, that's a direct contradiction to one of the most fundamental GMPs you can use in a production facility Yeah, I guess you're going to burn through "more than expected" when cutting corners was baked into your expectations 🙄
Boeing spent years trying to get their share price higher instead of engineering quality airplanes.
Since the McDonnell-Douglas “merger.”
No matter the sector, if your company is too busy buying back stock to work on pushing the needle, it’s time to get a new job.
Yep. That’s what happens when you tie CEO, CFO’s salaries to the share price of the company’s stock. You incentives cutting costs at the risk of safety and quality.
Now they should pay the price. They are probably still pumping the stock too

They really need a change. Total change. The company's image is so dark.

@MH_6160 Surely the shareholders will cough up to help Boeing.
Well, Boeing has government contracts so….you do the math.
When passengers die from crashes, your cash burn rate always goes up exponentially.
Maybe they shouldn't have spent it all on Stock Buybacks and dividend payments 😅
"Mishaps"? The stewardess spilling wine on you is a mishap.

As Warren Buffet said, "It's okay to lose a lot of money; it's not okay to lose a shred of reputation." Now, because they first focused on money, they are not only losing reputation but also more money than they exchanged for that reputation in the beginning.
Ah, even that headline makes me sigh. Them saying they don’t have enough cash-I can just hear them gearing up to ask for a bailout. Break up the monopolies! (And duopolies!)
If my business burned through all my cash fixing our mistake, the business would fail. Why should Boeing be any different?
Because they’re ultra rich. They shouldn’t have to pay taxes or be accountable to anything. They should get more tax payer bailouts. And then raise ticket costs immediately on the tax payer and add more luggage fees and smaller seats.
Cutting corners is expensive in the end. Crashes, unsafe travel. Poor Mr. Boeing's reputation is ruined..
The board of directors thought it was a good idea to play Russian Roulette with quality control.
Guess what happened?
They're a "defence" contractor so a bailout is guaranteed. Can't cut cash flow to the ultra rich.
Yep. And then they call it “capitalism.” It’s not. True capitalism, the CEO and company would actually take a hit and lose substantial money and then have to readjust. But that will never happen. We have monopolies and oligarchies.
You get what you pay for. And Boeing should be willing to pay for having their planes NOT fall out of the sky
Good. Boeing CEO, board of directors and shareholders have the highest IQ among corporate leaders 😂 Keep looking into Excel and coming with more crazy ideas such as firing quality inspectors 😂

That is stupid question. Of course they did.
@@greglane3978Oh good. I was worried for a second.
Just as a side note, what does the anecdote about the guy sneaking on to a plane have ANYTHING to do with Boeing?
when US airlines CEOs wanted to meet Boeing board without Boeing CEO, it says a lot
They shouldn’t receive a bailout!!!
(If the option presents itself)
Cutting corners during manufacturing in the beginning is costly on the tail end.
Boeing needs a better ceo
Turn the company back over to the engineers. Duh.
So it turns out that corporate greed and putting profit before quality is bad for business. Tough lesson to learn, Boeing, but you earned all the crap that you're getting.
So this is what happens when you put business accounting in charge of an engineering company. Smart, real smart. 👍
Paying for a coverup is not an affordable task 😂👍

They should try eating cornflakes! Times are tough but cereal has always been an affordable solution!!!
Shocking not. They are under scrutiny and certainly have been putting in more QC/QA roles, and steps when they were cutting corners for years.
Just goes to show that being cheap is not a replacement for being careful and systematic about spending. When you're cheap, the bill is not lowered, it's delayed.
Boeing has done multiple stock BuyBacks recently.
Sounds like they were pulling a Henry Ford.... Finding a way to devalue the company , to buy the stock back cheap...
Boosting stock prices is Job No 1.
There you again always worried about the bottom line not about building and maintaining safe plane. Its the American way!!
No sympathy for Boeing. They should have thought about the consequences of evil corporate actions and what it may cost them.
This day in age policies in that land
They didn't factor in the neglect charge, so what cost more doing it right the first time or paying for your mess ups.
Hmm... it's almost like cutting quality to save money in the short term results in a bigger loss in the long term
Nothing more American than corporate greed taking priority over human lives.
Of course it is. When you don't budget for real maintenance and then have to pay to perform real maintenance, you wind up spending money you didn't expect.
