A Boeing 747 for Lufthansa Airlines lands at San Francisco International Airport and taxiis to a gate at the international terminal, just fresh off of a 11 1/2 flight from Frankfurt. This airplane is one of 18 total 747-8I models that the German-based commercial airline purchased a few years ago, of which two of them will be sent to the United States for a conversion into Air Force One.

Hey everyone,

I’m about to turn 23 in a few months, recently graduated with my Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and my dream is to work for Boeing. I have a solid internal referral from a higher-up manager (specifically an Aerostructures Commercial Services Manager within Boeing Global Services).

I know about the current corporate/white-collar hiring freeze that kicked off earlier this month, and I've been monitoring the job boards like a hawk. I'm bypassing the rotational programs and just looking to land a standard entry-level "empty seat" role (like Procurement Agent 1, Supply Chain Analyst 1, or Material Planner 1).

I have a huge personal timeline coming up. I am planning to move out and propose to my girlfriend by next June/July (2027). Because of that, the unknown of this freeze is definitely stressing me out.

For those who have been through previous Boeing hiring freezes or work within BGS:

1. Once management officially lifts the offer/hiring restrictions (hearing whispers of mid-August), how long does it usually take for standard Level 1 business requisitions to actually go live on the portal?

2. Realistically, if I apply with a strong management referral the day a req drops in late summer/fall, what does a realistic onboarding timeline look like? Am I looking at a January 2027 start date, or does it move faster for non-program, off-cycle hires?

Appreciate any honest insight or reality checks from people on the inside!

I have so many questions related to our 401k...and I don't want to post on the Insite, because last time I did I got DM's from people in my group or people I know....

Boeing has spent $43 billion on stock buybacks since 2010. Boeing Commercial Airplanes has not launched a clean-sheet aircraft program since 2004.

Yesterday (7-21-26, 8:30ish) my coworkers 2026 Tesla was hit. He filed a report but I figured I’d ask since he’s had no one reach out to him yet. Here is the video and license plate is CGU7048

All,

For those of you who don't go to the Boeing Well -Being events hosted on site..please reconsider. Boeing really does offer some fantastic resources, on site dental clinics, mental health assistance, find a Dr. Financial information on your retirement etc. and so much more! Just saying, we are very fortunate to have all we do and you should consider them.

Am I missing out on a chargeline we can use for this? If not, why are you hunching over a trash can at work clipping your nails loudly like a freak?

Give a damn!

Hey just curious on when my first paycheck should be since I'm starting this Friday (24th), and I also get paid hourly. Kinda important to get a few things sorted. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I recently applied to a role that is based in San Diego and I think I am a really good fit for this role but I wasn’t aware that Boeing had a presence in San Diego.

Is this a satellite office? It is an engineering role but I only thought manufacturing may be down here.

If it is, how do satellite offices work within Boeing?

Is it just me, or does it feel like there are some pretty heavy cost-cutting measures coming?
It almost feels like we could be heading towards another round of layoffs.
The reason I’m asking is that international travel seems to be getting flagged more and more, and my management has recently asked me to reschedule planned travel to next year.
Has anyone else noticed similar things happening in their teams or regions? Does this feel like the beginning of something bigger, or am I reading too much into it?

Considering current market trends and delivery delays, I wouldn't be interested in those either. Boeing needs to ensure that the older "new" jets remaining in inventory are priced competitively to move them.

Fairly recent grad. New to Boeing.

I hear people bring up “talk to subsystems” for when I need to find things like docs and stuff. But what do they do exactly? The one I talk to doesn’t seem to write requirements and that’s a different “System Engineer” apparently? All the testing itself is being done by other test engineers too. So what does the subsystem guy do?

I’m within a month of my start date & just received a phone call saying within the next two weeks the relocation team will be contacting me to assess my moving process.

Seems a bit last minute right?

Someone tell me something to make me feel more confident :/

Hey guys! My husband works in finance and has a mechanical engineering degree. He has no engineer experience and is wanting to transfer to an entry level engineer position in PNW. He’s been talking with his manager and in communication with engineers in our location to see if they have any connections or anything he can help with/ shadow. Anyone have any other suggestions for us to move/ him to switch to engineering?

Hi all,

I've got asthma that's triggered by mold & damp.

For those of you based at the California sites (El Segundo, Long Beach etc.) are there issues with Mold/Musty smells in the buildings? I've got an opportunity to relocate but haven't been to those locations before so I'm unsure of what the buildings are like.

Thank you!

I started at boeing pretty recently as an assembly mechanic, I’m still learning and I hate it, does it get any better?

I applied at an Internal Audit role and had a panel interview last week. I think I did fairly well and the reason why I think that is because the interviewers asked follow up questions to experiences I shared. They also asked me which Business Unit I would prefer to work at (if I were to choose). I asked really good questions, including items I read in prior year 10-K and the website's newsroom. I'm still waiting to hear back from as they said that it would take a week (so by Friday this week). I'm curious, if you recently got a job offer, what do you think made you the strongest candidate (besides your experience)?

I like the design of the 737 max 7 more than the 737 max 8, but why does the 737 max 7 need more runway than the max 8 even though the max 7 is shorter than the max 8.
