I feel that Boeing is really going downhill and are getting into worse and worse situations.

Facts, my friend.
Is they cut there flagship production doesnât mean they are going down. Just means not much orders or itâs tied to the engines
Well, less number of aircraft manufactured = Less money = less profit
Yeah true but again it might be due to not a lot of orders for the 78X
I think everyone is overestimating this. 12 per month is still a lot, and I think this was done because almost all of not all of the 787s originally ordered are done, they have completed there backlog and are now down to base load so to speak, all aircraft production runs do this to some extentâŚ
WHAT!!! They donât even have the 77X ready, so theyâll have no passenger long haul aircraft in steady production.
Boeing has cut the number of B787âs produced from 14 down to 12 per month.
This will be in effect for at least 2 years.
@KPIT you have a good point!
That what I was trying to say
They also went up to 14 a bit ago from 12 to clear there backlog which has now been done, so I really donât think this is as big a deal as it seemsâŚ
Yes they will. The 787 is still in âsteady productionâ by all accounts, the 777-300ER is still trucking along, even the 747-8 is still being produced regularly.
They are probably adjusting because of the risk of a global economic recession the next 12-18 months.
If we donât get a recession, itâs pretty clear we will have a much weaker economy according to Moodyâs
Yep, thatâs true. But how about Airbus? They seem to be confident with the chances of a recession.
They also have done their things
They have less profits so it wonât hit so hard.
Because of tariffs. China is a big market for Boeing. And USA is a big market for China.
China strikes back by signing a multi billion deal with Airbus.
Oh, here comes @DeerCrusher to take it behind the barn and put it to sleep⌠đ
I would agree with Andre 100%. This isnât a âBoeing Issueâ as youâve put it. Theyâre only cutting the production from 14 down to 12 which isnât that bad. Only 24 planes less per year if you think about it. @anon24319801 if you read the article that you linked you would note that the reason is the following:
âcurrent global trade environmentâ
Its a smart financial decision. I would do the same. Why create planes when the demand isnât there? Its like throwing cash into a firepit.
Donât blow a simple adjustment out of proportion to make something real small seem something absolutely devastating. I like facts, I donât like fake news and misleading info
Every change makes a difference. It might start off small, but it could grow bigger. Weâve seen this with Boeing quite a few times.
I donât see how posting âfake newsâ has anything to do with my post because I simply added 2 reliable sources in the thread and Neither did I write any information except the numbers that decreased to 12.
Also I did read the article. Simply sharing it with the community.
One thing leads to another. While this may be Boeingâs move for the economic recession, that doesnât mean that it wonât affect the company. Iâm not saying it will at such a quantity, but I feel that it might.
Wow, my joke looks stupid when you donât actually shut it downâŚ
Good point though, not everything about Boeing is a Boeing issueâŚ
Also Iâm never forgetting that @DeerCrusherâŚ
