The Real Reason Boeing Is Being Vilified

a reply to: nugget1

It looks to me like Boeing is being forced out of the public transportation side of things and being shifted into military contracts.

Boeing has been involved in Military contracts for a long time. i read at least 35/40% of their reveneue comes from Military contracts including, air defense,dew's, missiles, and aircraft. their stopping production on the F/A-18 Super Hornets in 2025 after the completion of the last eight.

here's their web site that list some.

My insider says that Boeings real problem is DEI and in particular DEI in Seattle. They have spent years hiring unqualified people for various positions and when said people screw up, they cover up. Their main purpose is not to make a great product but to hire as many POC and sexual deviants as possible.

Are the "cover-up" PR teams mired with the same DEI fiasco? 😀

You practically have to murder someone to get fired if you fit their DEI "skillset". I am not sure if what he is saying is 100% true, but myself, I work at a major corp as well and it is very much that way where I am. As a matter of fact, at the center I am at (which is their tech hub) nearly 50% of all workers are foreign. They have gay and weird # all over the place and there are congrats to POC and sexual deviants in their newsletter every single working day.

Actually it’s well known, and that opinion comes after talking to Russian pilots. The Arab world uses a large number of Russian aircraft, hence the need for Russian engines. Back in the early to mid 2000s Russian airlines were buying western engines hand over fist.

But please, show me the Russian built engine that has been hanging on the wing of an aircraft for 50,000 hours without a failure or problem requiring removal.

Yeah, it’s totally Boeing’s fault that the rocket they didn’t build had a last second issue identified by the ground computers.

I am not an expert in the field of aircraft engine manufacturing. I am only guided by reports in the Russian press and interviews with manufacturers. Now the Perm Motors enterprise has created a whole line of the latest aircraft engines, including for civil aircraft, which are in no way inferior to their Western counterparts. But the price is much cheaper. I even once carried out an investigation into the inflated cost of engines for the President’s aviation detachment.
Technologically, Russia is a clear world leader in aircraft manufacturing.

You listen to the press?
😂

Because a manufacturer is going to come out and say “I make product x. It’s a good product but not as good as the product made in this country over here.” No one is going to admit their products are not as good as others, but there have always been issues with Russian engines. The high speed engines, such as for the MiG-31 and MiG-25 had to be overhauled after every high speed flight.

My friend you are a product of your society and because of that you tend to believe TPTB in your country; totally understandable.. It is like Americans listening to CNN or MSN for their information. You might come across a nugget of truth occasionally when it agrees with their propaganda otherwise it is mostly slanted made up B.S. if not out right lies.

I though Boeing's problems related to bits falling off commercial aircraft.

Or perhaps it relates to their name sounding like 'boing'? Always good for comic effect!

Yeah, that was the beginning that opened the rabbit hole. I don't think we've hit bottom yet.
