Boeing whistleblower found dead?

Would this be noteworthy to mention in the article somewhere? https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2024/03/12/boeing-whistleblower-dead-john-barnett/ https://time.com/6900123/boeing-whistleblower-john-barnett-found-dead-deposition-safety/ (Discuss 0nshore's contributions!!!) 12:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

There is a discussion below about how to best include this information. It has yet to reach a conclusion. - ZLEA _T\^C 21:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

See the "Intrigue/Conspiracies Section" further down this page and post there instead if needed. -Fnlayson (talk) 13:52, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Boeing Computer Services

During the 1980s, there was a Boeing company called Boeing Computer Services (BCS). I'm not sure when it ceased to exist, nor whether it was absorbed back in to the parent company or sold off. I worked in its AI center from 1984 to 1987, so it at least existed during that time. It also developed Boeing Calc, which has an article Boeing_Calc. That article mentions the company and has a link to its article, but that link redirects here. Dunno if BCS was deemed not important enough to warrant a separate Wikipedia article, but if not it seems like it should at least be mentioned here. Mcswell (talk) 21:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

If there are enough reliable secondary sources covering BCS, then feel free to start an article on the company. Just know that as a former employee, you may have a WP:COI and might want to start the article as a draft. - 22:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Add A Fact: "Boeing to cut 17,000 jobs"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Boeing’s new chief executive on Friday announced plans to reduce its work force by 10 percent, or about 17,000 jobs, as he seeks to restructure the company in an effort to slash costs and improve production of planes, which has been plagued by numerous delays.

The fact comes from the following source:

I already added it. It's in the lead section? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

And it's now been removed, although I'm not sure there has ever previously been a change of such magnitude. Perhaps it will be added back if and when it actually happens. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

• I removed that only from the Lead. It is covered in the body of the article, in Labor strike section. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, I know. Perhaps it will be added back. If the company survives long enough? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:45, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Categorize Boeing under "space junk"

There are more bits of Boeing debris than working devices in space,after one of it's satellites exploded into 500 pieces [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.134.26.141 (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Which one was it? The satellites it has produced are listed at Boeing Defense, Space & Security. But I am guessing most have been "retired" (also space junk?) Martinevans123 (talk) 14:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Boeing the company is not space junk, nor is it primarily a space junk disposal company, so to categorize this article under Category:Space debris would be inappropriate. That said, the satellite in question has an article, which is already categorized under Category:Spacecraft that broke apart in space. - ZLEA _T\^C 19:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps the IP was being slightly ironic? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC) (... at least he didn't describe it as a "floating island of garbage"?)

Boeing employee numbers need to be changed

On page 15 of every annual report it has estimated employee number but for some reason the article doesn't list any of the years number of employees before 2013. Yellowgods (talk) 18:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
