Why is Boeing LAYING OFF 17,000 workers, effectively doing a MASS LAYOFF?

[@JimLifeWorthLiving-u2i]

Yo you called the more layoffs!

[@chucksneedmoreland]

what's worse is that boeing management thinks if we outsource just one more division or use one more supplier it will make boeing more profitable. Boeing should take a page from spacex's book and focus on making things inhouse because of the longer term costs associated with using external vendors and outsourced personnel

Exactly, completely agree with all of those points!

Will this affect Seattle area much? I’m not in the biz but it affects everything else around here.

Yeah I am not exactly sure what operations Boeing has around Seattle. Are you referring to the fact that the layoffs could impact their manufacturing operations for delivering aircraft to different airline companies?
