Boeing to cut 10% of workforce, stop most 767 production amid strike
Boeing will lay off 10% of its workforce in the coming months and is making changes to its production schedule amid the ongoing Machinists strike.

I don't like how every news story about the layoffs uncritically parrots the company excuse about the strike, as if decades of regulatory capture, short-term business strategy, and poor engineering and supply chain decisions by successive waves of over-paid executives didn't sink the company.
The Seattle Times is really not a good online paper, it's honestly pretty bad. Maybe it was good back in the heyday of print when they had good streams advertiser funding, but nowadays their front page is mostly taken up by local sports related journalism. It's frankly, kind of disturbing.
They did/do have a really good aerospace reporter who covered the most recent round of Boeing scandals, and broke a lot of the stories, but he's not the author of this article.
I think I might even prefer the Baltimore Sun's broke ass website just based on their exponentially lower ratio of local sports stories on the front page.
I hold fast to the idea that if you want to find the dumbest person in the room you only need to look up the chain. The higher you go the dumber, more outwardly over-confident, and more disastrously insecure and fragile they get.
