It’s been obvious from the beginning of Boeing’s troubles: they simply have not done enough DEI (which is the new term for Affirmative Action). They need more blacks and women. They need to run out the remaining white men, and then they’ll be on a path to glory. As is testified to in every movie,... Read More
When asked about stranded astronauts at a recent company meeting, Ted Colbert, the head of Boeing’s space and security unit said “I ain’t even know what you be talkin’ ’bout, muthafukkah, bitch ass.” He then began grabbing his crotch and moving around erratically, saying “muh dick, muthafuggah.” He then pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and...

It’s strange that “trapped astronauts” is not a bigger story, no? I guess they’re fine. But they will not be fine indefinitely. The Guardian: So is part of the situation here that they don’t want to ask Russia to help? Russia would help. [image][F]https://daily
At this point, Boeing should just lean into the whole “constant disaster” thing, and advertise themselves like a bungie jumping company. It’s an adventure. You don’t know what is going to happen. You might die. That’s the entire bungie jumping industry, but also, Six Flags sort of did this after people died in their roll... Read More
Just leave those faggots up there. Who cares? They knew the risks. This isn’t my problem. The Guardian: The 8-day mission that lasted a month reminds me of Gilligan’s Island. “A three hour tour…” It remains unclear when exactly the astronauts will be able to make their return to Earth. A Boeing spokesperson told the... Read More
“Ey yo, bossman. We all outta titagnitum. Ain’t got nonna dat shit nowheres in this bitch, T-Dawg and me scanned the bitch, fro.” “Nigga, can’t you see I be trying to get my freak on? I don’t give no fucks about no titagnitum. The fuck is dat?” “It be some hard ass shit we put... Read More
Can these crises just keep happening, without a serious one that kills hundreds of people eventually happening? The answer is obviously “no.” There is going to be a major crisis that kills everyone onboard one of these jets, and then there is going to finally be a real investigation, and most or all Boeings are...

Boeing is literally facing a Foreigner style “Final Countdown” like no one has ever witnessed before in the history of Fortune 100 companies. The only people facing a worse Foreigner style countdown are the Jews. Sorry, that song is by Europe. I think it should have been by Foreigner, but that isn’t really my choice... Read More
Hahahaha. I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to say about this? Was he murdered or did he actually kill himself because he knew the testimony would ruin his life? (The second option is unlikely, because he was giving this testimony voluntarily – though he could have figured out or been informed that he was... Read More
Previously: China’s Own Airliner Rivaling Boeing Makes International Debut It’s a simple reality of IQ that China is going to dominate every single industry once dominated by the United States. Boeing is the most ridiculous example of this happening, because they are literally setting goals to replace huge swaths of their work force with negroes.... Read More
The competency crisis is really speeding up now. The Jews decided that they could turn the entire United States into a liberal arts college, but it turns out that women and blacks simply cannot manage the systems that were created by white men. This is just going to keep getting worse. New York Post: “Just... Read More
I may be too trusting, but I generally accept upgrades. Several months ago, I willingly accepted an iPhone operating system upgrade, and lost all the Notes I had stored on my phone. These notes contained bank and credit card details, passport details, and other useful things which I have to consult from time to time,... Read More
I don’t like flying. I consider it unnatural, unhealthy and fraught with peril. But I do it all the time. For me, it’s either fly or take an ox cart. In fact, I’ve been flying since I was six years old – from New York to Paris on a lumbering Boeing Stratocruiser, a converted, double-decker... Read More
After the second Boeing commercial airliner crashed in Ethiopia killing everyone on board, the FAA should have grounded the rest of the Boeing 737 Max 8 fleet in the interest of passenger safety. That would have helped to shore up public confidence in the FAA while giving Boeing the time it needed to locate and... Read More
Conventional wisdom is that it is too early to speculate why in the past six months two Boeing 737 Max 8 planes have gone down shortly after take off, so if all that follows is wrong you will know it very quickly. Last night I predicted that the first withdrawals of the plane would happen... Read More
Donald Trump seems not to have noticed yet but the Boeing aircraft company has just handed him a perfect opportunity to target the middle ground in American politics. Boeing has for decades been perhaps the most egregious corporate exemplar of what Trump rightly denounces as the stupidity and spinelessness of U.S. trade policy. That policy... Read More
For decades the Boeing company has been quietly transferring large tranches of advanced U.S. aeronautical technology to Japan. The deal – which has gone almost entirely overlooked by the American press – is that Boeing engineers teach Japanese companies how to make more and more of each succeeding airplane model, and in return Japan’s state-controlled...

At a welcoming banquet in Japan in the 1980s, Ford Motor chairman Philip Caldwell received a memorably double-edged compliment. “There is no secret about how we learned to do what we do, Mr. Caldwell,” said the head of Toyota Motor , Eiji Toyoda. “We learned it at the Rouge.” Toyoda was referring to Ford’s fabled...

In this space last week Ihighlighted Boeing’s program to transfer much of its most advanced technology to Japan, and suggested the company is committing the industrial equivalent of assisted suicide (with the Tokyo industry ministry gamely playing the role of Dr. Kevorkian). Among the more perceptive reader comments was that of a puzzled friend in... Read More

After some scarifying teething problems, the Boeing Dreamliner now seems to be becoming belatedly accepted as the wonder plane it was always cracked up to be. Though that is excellent news, it says far less about the health of the U.S. aerospace industry than Boeing executives would have you to believe. The fact is that... Read More
Congratulations to James B. Stewart on a superb New York Times article yesterday on Boeing. As he has pointed out, fully 35 percent of the airframe of the 787, the troubled, if superbly advanced, new Boeing jetliner, is being made in Japan. This reflects a highly organized, subsidy-drenched effort by the Japanese industrial system to... Read More
The news overnight seems to have become increasingly troubling for Boeing, as investigations into the 787′s problems fan out in all directions. Although it is still not known which, if any, of at least four Boeing suppliers may be to blame, it is clear that the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board...

My colleague Steve Denning’s commentarytoday on Boeing’s 787 problems is on the money in identifying a key managerial wrong turning a decade ago. Boeing decided at the outset to rely on outsourcing for 70 percent of the plane’s manufactured content. As Steve shows at length, this greatly increased the managerial complexity of the project and... Read More
How serious isBoeing’s 787 problem? Gerhard Fasol, chief of the Tokyo-based consulting firm Eurotechnology, takes a pessimistic view. He believes that one key paragraph in last night’s statement by the Federal Aviation Administration defines Boeing’s problem: “Before further flight, operators of U.S.-registered, Boeing 787 aircraft must demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the...

The crisis at Boeing took a dramatic turn for the worse last night when the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all U.S.-registered 787s. Other regulatory authorities have followed suit and now the guessing game begins on how long the grounding will last and who exactly is to blame. In retrospect it is clear is that the... Read More
As I anticipated in mypost before the market opened this morning, Boeing shares have taken a drubbing following news of the grounding of all Japanese-owned 787s last night. Meanwhile shares of EADS, the company that makes Airbus planes, are modestly higher. If anything, investors seem to be overreacting to Boeing’s problems. Certainly at a time... Read More
Is Boeing’s vaunted 787 — the so-called Dreamliner — the Edsel of the air? Probably not, but the plane is under a serious cloud and so is its maker. The recent run of 787 emergencies may well be mere teething problems, as Boeing executives insist, but in the era of the 24-hour news cycle, the... Read More
