Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Any Boeing insiders or followers out here?

    I have stock in BA- bought it at 83 - with all the scandal it went down $4.87 today to $371. I know the workers at Boeing are great and the management sucks. The bigger fiasco was the tanker which should have gone to Airbus. Mike Sears (St. Louis military side) screwed that one up big time.
    I really feel that the military side of Boeing has screwed it up the most.

    I have worked in aerospace and tried to stay away from the military side of things as much as possible. That has to do with the DoD having a file a couple inches thick on me. At one time the DoD told me a couple places I lived that I had forgot about. Long story for another day.

    The Boeing workers I know wouldn’t hurt a fly.

    That said, they fit in well working at a massive company that is almost as inefficient as the government and can skate by doing the minimum.

    Elon Musk needs to have Space X start competing with Boeing and Airbus for commercial flight

    the usual 80/20 rule applies at almost any company I have been associated with - 30-40 percent should be laid off

    and Boeing is as inefficient as the gov. Most large companies are
