Discussion

I’ve always been curious about something about Boeing from both an engineering and operations perspective.

People often discuss Boeing in terms of aircraft design, company decisions, manufacturing, certification, safety culture, airline pressure, etc. But I rarely see discussion on what Boeing still does exceptionally well compared to competitors.

For those who follow Boeing closely (engineers, aviation enthusiasts, pilots, maintenance crews, employees, passengers):

What do you think Boeing’s strongest area is today, and what do you think needs the biggest improvement?

Interested in hearing technical and non-technical perspectives.

I've spent most of my career in worker's comp. I've been at Boeing for a little while now and I can tell you that their light duty and reassignment program is top class and is leagues ahead of what I've seen from most state fund worker's comp systems. But what's funny is that the people who complain about it the most are typically the ones who abuse it the most. And let me tell you, it gets abused a lot.
