In recent years, there has been a continuous stream of negative news
Boeing's stock price has fallen by 30% this year
In recent years, there have been continuous negative news about Boeing, with multiple models of aircraft experiencing safety accidents. In addition to the aforementioned models, the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft has also experienced several accidents.
Since the beginning of this year, several whistleblowers have successively exposed issues with Boeing's quality and safety controls. Experts have pointed out that the hidden dangers have already been planted.
Peter Robinson, a senior American journalist and writer, believes that for a long time, Boeing has tilted its profit distribution towards shareholders in order to maintain its stock price, resulting in relatively insufficient investment in technological innovation. In order to compete with Airbus' new models, Boeing hastily launched the 737 MAX aircraft, laying hidden dangers for future flight safety. According to a former Boeing quality control manager, Boeing used to assign about 15 quality inspectors per flight, but later reduced it to only retaining one quality inspector per flight. Prior to the two 737 MAX air crashes, Boeing had received multiple reports of issues with the aircraft, but failed to respond promptly and take action.

On August 8th of this year, Boeing welcomed a new CEO, aviation industry veteran Kelly Altberg, who took office.
In the first half of 2024, Boeing only received 156 aircraft orders, compared to a net order quantity of 567 aircraft for the same period the previous year. To rebuild the company's reputation, we must fulfill our commitment to producing high-quality and safe commercial aircraft. At the beginning of his tenure, Ottoberg said in an open letter to employees.
In addition, Boeing's financial report disclosed on October 23 showed that due to factors such as strikes, the company lost nearly $6.2 billion in the third quarter of this year and has lost nearly $8 billion so far this year.
According to reports, Boeing's latest layoffs involve nearly 400 people in Washington state and over 500 people in California. The layoffs include positions such as engineers, personnel, and analysts, affecting Boeing's civilian, defense, and global services departments. Boeing announced in a government filing in mid November that it plans to lay off approximately 2500 employees, and with the latest report of nearly a thousand, Boeing's recent layoffs are estimated to be around 3500.
