Boeing: The best Airbus ad.
-
So what I'm understanding is.... Boeing stopped being Boeing, and became McDonell Douglas with a Boeing halloween costume. RIP Boeing 1916-1997
-
My dad has worked in airplane manufacturing/repair for over 40 years. Since 2000, he has made all of us fly only on Airbus planes.
-
Worked at Boeing briefly for an internship. A reason I did not return was almost every employee saying “if you care about your career do not work here”. lol
-
I worked for Boeing for nearly 40 years. Retired in 2019. The problems all started when McDonnell Douglas “merged” with us. The whole business model changed from producing quality products to making more money. Period. Just as depicted in this piece. I saw it with my own eyes and lived it every day. So sad. I loved my company and it was like watching someone you love die from a slow and painful death.

"The employees feared retaliation for raising safety related concerns." -> Boeing whisteblower was just found dead today. I wonder if John needs to do a follow up video.
-
The amount of footage from “Downfall: The Case Against Boeing” just shows how definitive it is on Boeing’s issues. Absolute masterpiece of a documentary in my opinion. I think everyone watching this episode should watch it
-
As I was watching this, the Boeing CEO stepped down 😂🎉
-
Whats f*cking crazy is that a Boeing whistleblower was found dead inside his car with a self inflicted gun wound just yesterday..
-
"Started by the spirit of innovation, killed by greed." is pretty much a tagline for our modern society.
-
“New Business Daddy is so mad at us, all the time!” That might have made me laugh harder than anything else
-
That CEO's statement of a "quality escape" reminds me of the parody interview of a shipbuilder saying that normally ship's fronts don't fall off.
-
My dad has a degree in chemistry and worked as a manager. He always said: "It is much easier to teach an engineer some accounting than to teach an MBA science."
-
I feel like "We went to business school. Get on our plane!" aptly encapsulates not just the enshittification of aircraft, but also the enshittification of pretty much everything from dating apps to video games, to taxis, to hotels, to movies, and beyond.
-
I had a great uncle that worked for McDonnell-Douglas (now BOEING) until he retired in the 1980/90’s. He is long passed away. He would not fly, even though he could do so for free, sighting he saw what happened on the assembly line. He would drive back to Saskatchewan, Canada from Seattle. More than 1200miles (1800km).

Boeing is the sound it makes when the door springs off.
-
"When a door closes, another one opens." -Boeing
-
Best part was learning you can exclude certain planes on kayak
-
Xerox also dived when the corporate office left Rochester NY manufacturing to relocate in upscale Connecticut. There was a medieval poem lamenting ' the Lord and his Lady no longer join us in the great hall, but take their dinners in private alone". It's one of the saddest and truest statements of what happens when management leaves the ordinary workers

"The employees feared retaliation for raising safety related concerns" John Barnett: I WONDER WHY
