There’s plenty of drama at Boeing. The DEI-ridden corp looking for a new CEO appeared to have settled on current COO Stephanie Pope.
That’s now in doubt for various reasons, but there’s every reason to believe that Pope won’t turn around a culture that had drifted away from engineering excellence and into corporate identity politics pandering.
Consider Pope’s touting of its DEI report last year while using woke buzzwords.
I couldn’t be prouder to share that Boeing recently placed #12 on DiversityInc.’s annual list of top companies. DiversityInc. requires data-based outcomes to be included, which demonstrates we’re not just promising a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion – we’re holding ourselves accountable. One way we’re doing so is through our annual Global Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (GEDI) Report. The GEDI 2023 report was just issued today, and while we still have more work to do, we’ve made progress.
Boeing certainly made progress in all the possible wrong ways. The company became more woke while undermining its competence, reliability, and credibility.
Woke leads to broke and doubling down on the same failed leadership won’t turn Boeing around.
Algorithmic Analyst says
They seem to have violated basic principles of good engineering.
Remo says
Woke leads to more than broke. It leads to the death of innocent people.
NAVY ET1 says
I read yesterday that flyers are turning to religion and/or Xanax to deal with anxiety when forced to fly on Boeing aircraft now. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m fairly certain that a DEI focus will finish burying the already languishing company…and if that’s going to be their priority, it’s for the best.
Sharon says
I seem to remember from a not long ago article that Boeing hired a LOT of women to work on the line crew in the name of DEI — no coincidence skilled work fell?
Onzeur Trante says
Fear of flying has taken on a whole new meaning these days.
Del Varner says
We will only trusting Airbus now. The Chinese want to get into this market; would you trust their tofu dreg building practices? Alternatively this could be a big break for Embraer or Bombardier.
RAM says
The Europeans who back Airbus are not free of the madness either. The others make smaller planes.

Domenic Pepe says
…. we’re not just promising a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion – we’re holding ourselves accountable. …
Right …. Boeing will be paying for the funerals of their unfortunate DEI flying passenger victims.
COO Stephanie Pope would be better suited as a DEI administrator/political Commissar
in the Los Angeles Public School System.
RAM says
They’re too big to fail—no one is avaialable to to absorb enough of their orders on short notice.
Chris Shugart says
That’s wonderful that Boeing is so diverse. So how is that going to keep your planes from crashing? Well, it won’t. If anything, it will increase the likelihood of more mishaps due to under-qualified personnel.
Boeing Retiree says
Nothing new here. For a very long time, Boeing has promoted women, minorities and gay people at a rate much higher than that of white men. I had managers who knew literally nothing about the products and services that our group provided. But they were supposedly “good managers” so they got the job.
Ksera says
They won’t change. They CAN’T change. Liberalism is a cult.
Buford Horndyke says
Having piloted Boeing, Douglas, and Ajrbus aircraft, Airbus is superior in every way.
