Surprised Pikachu face...
I see a pattern.
Hmm, sounds like Boeing needs to fire more engineers.
And increase C-level compensation, of course.
Well, it is public knowledge that layoffs and furloughs are happening, so sadly, you're not wrong.
And they somehow enticed Kelly Ortberg out of retirement to take over as CEO. There's the hella juicy c-suite compensation package you talked about. He was already riding golden after he maneuvered that Rockwell Collins sale/merger/whatever.
I don't know this smells of some pencil Pusher looking at an engineer going "can you bring the cost of that rubber o-ring down 13 cents"... "I know you were looking for a specific type of seal but I got this huge assortment pack right here from my local temu...."
There really is no other option.
Just gonna throw this idea out there:
What if they hired a bunch of engineers who graduated from sketchy, unaccredited colleges in foreign countries and paid them half as much much?
Of course there is! They could spend more money in PR campaigns and ~bribes~ lobbying
You need double ~~tides~~ tildes for the cross out text to work
And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.
An epic pattern my be on the horizon?
