Boeing was founded in 1916 in Seattle, Washington by William E. Boeing as the Pacific Aero Products Company. The company originally produced seaplanes from wood.
In 1917, the company was renamed to the Boeing Airplane Company. Boeing shipped 2 planes to the US Navy that same year and they ordered 50 more.
In 1919, the Boeing B-1 made its maiden flight. The plane was designed to carry mail.
In the 1930’s, the company began making its airplanes from metal. In 1937, Boeing designed the first pressurized cabin transport airplane.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Boeing began heavy production of airplanes for the military, including B-47 and B-52 bombers.
Today, Boeing is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company has several distinct divisions: Commercial, Defense & Space and Engineering & Ops. They also run a finance division called Boeing Capital.

Just a suggestion for how airlines can get their planes flying when passengers are scared of sharing a small space in the pandemic. Why don’t you use the drop-down oxygen masks. Disconnect the oxygen supply from them, and reconnect that to a source of outside air drawn into the plane and pressurized to a slightly higher pressure than cabin pressure. Then have the passengers wear them during the whole flight. The air coming into the masks at slightly higher pressure would prevent air expelled from neighbouring passengers entering the masks. Shouldn’t be a huge task for your engineers to rig up this scheme. Can’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Reading the article referring the Boeing 787 has installed Ballast tanks of water to help the stability of the aircraft if needed. Since there is a mystery to the lost of Airbus yet to be located in the large body of water. I have a possible solution of which might of been heard prior and that is since the 787 aircraft has ballast tanks installed how about using a thick colored dye that would not disperse too fast on the surface and help the searchers to locate the fallen craft.
We use dyes to find out what happened to water that goes underground only to see the dye marker show up later down stream.
Just thought I’d throw it your way for food for thought.
Thanks..

You might want to consider buying Moog in Torrance, California. They have some great machinists but the management is running the company into the ground. If you do but it, the management should all be replaced.

What are you doing about the alcohol and drug abuse at Boeing?
One of your Everett maintenance is drinking & driving daily on his 4th DUI! (and smoking pot). He drives his old beater to work cause he goes straight to the bar.. While his car with the blow-n-go is home. DAILY he consumes multiple beers & multiple shots of tequila.. It is his life.
His boss at Boeing knows of his last DUI.. Seems he is not responsible to tell Boeing of this problem employee. You apparently do not have in place a way to track your employees. This dangerous drunk, working for Boeing for many years.. And You don’t know!
Couple years ago there was a table full of Boeing employees at The Cedar Stump.. all smoking pot.. One of the bosses was there, he didn’t care.. Few years ago I knew a Boeing engineer.. He didn’t want Boeing to know about his drunk head-on in Tukwila. He’s since died with a head-on in Everett.
Seems Boeing doesn’t care.. or you would have some way to identify these sick employees.
The hard core fact is.. He’s going to kill someone if he’s not stopped.

I am also very concerned with the alcohol and drug abuse by the Boeing emplyees. I dated an employee from the pain hanger whom are the final people o work the plain until it is “SOLD” and he was drunk every day before leaving and smoked week constantly with his buddies there during break one even growns weed at home and sells it to his fellow workers. It’s absolutely appauling that safefty is jeapordized due to the companies lack of random drug testing to ensure the planes are safe. The guy reaked of alcohol on the job constantly and his leads and everyone knew it even told him I think you need to avoid certain people because you smell of the week or alcohol and it’s all an oh don’t narc on him he has kids or whatever but what about all the people who’s lives are put in jeapordy in the sky, they could car less about that all a buddy cover up so they can party at work and get paid for it. He only worked on a plane 3 days a week there and paid to be there and stay onsite when the hanger had no plane to work and was just one big old smoking party to pass time. They all do it in the Renton and Seattle offices and know for a fact because he worked both places. I won’t fly in their planes. Their policy needs to change. I feel safer in an airbus, they would never allow such acts. Even when a few were busted at a plant in WA they never made workers do random tests. Every one of his friends smoked week and other stuff and they would pull into the parking garage or go behind the building to get high ever break. It’s appauling!!!!

Regarding the Flight 370 disappearance, I have a suggestion to make planes easier to find. Put a transponder in an upper (detachable) segment of the tail section. The transponder turns on automatically when the plane’s electrical system is activated, and can NOT be turned off manually from the XXXXpit. The transponder is connected to a generator in the body of the plane, as well as to a smaller, internalized battery or generator located within the tail segment. In the event of an water-crash, the tail is the highest point on the plane. As long as the plane stays afloat, the transponder will send a signal. In the event that the plane sinks, the upper segment of the tail section will disconnect when activated by pressure plates / sensors. The segment will float to the surface, and the transponder (via its internalized generator or battery) will continue to send signals. Dye markers could also be released. Even with current / waves, the dye wouldn’t disperse by much in the few hours it would take to locate the floating transponder.

I along with others are afraid to fly on your products. It seems to me that the flaws in your planes manifest themselves when the units either catch fire, or crash. I have been flying since the Super G Constellation and even back then, we seldom had a plane go missing.
Since your company, Boeing , seems to listen to nobody, maybe you should go back to design 101. Put a GPS locator on the planes especially those that travel long distances over water. If they can locate a person with a phone and my lowly On Star, surely your so called engineers should be able to figure out a system that can find a plane whether in water or on the ground. If you need help from some of your customers, just put out the word, and I’m sure there are some among us that have an idea that would improve the quality of your product.

Sir,
For a period of time articles have appeared in the media about the problems of the battery catching fire in the large airplane. My neighbor who is retired with the Navy with 20 years of service worked on electronic equipment of airplanes.
He said the battery that is in the plane is different than other batteries. It needs to be in a cold area. otherwise it will get too hot and a fire will start. A cooling system such as simple as a window unit a/c or use the airplane a/c to be directed to the battery itself.

With the pickings at boeing in Washington State tell the people to go back to work or they lose their jobs. Why not move the whole plant down to Smokey Mountain and give these very poor people a job that are Hillbillies. Pay them $ 7.02 a hour and at thanksgiving time give them all big roast a box of mash potatoes and a white cake only. That would be their like the money gave out to all employee in Washington State but you would save more money this way.You do this money ever year. Also at Christmas give them only a bag of oranges and two boxes of candy. I hope you do this. Its time these poor people get good jobs also. This will teach Washington state. The poor people should build the plant pay them $7.46 a hour.

Re: Vancouver, Washington
Folks:
If Boeing is considering the relocation of certain departments, how about Vancouver, Washington?
Access is easily available to Hwys’ I-5 & I-84; rail exists; as does the Ports of Portland & Vancouver…with,
of course, Portland International Airport 10 minutes away.
Please have the appropriate executive contact Mayor Tim Leavitt [personal 1-360-600-XXXXX].
Thank you.
