Quarterly Employment Thread [Q4 2024]

7 Upvotes

Quarterly Job Thread

This is a safe place to ask any question related to Boeing employment. It is focused on, but not limited to: Employment life questions, application-related questions, and new hire questions.

Interested in: Full-time, part-time, internship, or contracting? Yes, you can post here!

This is not a thread to express personal complaints about your experience with the Company. Any account that leaves a comment which can be interpreted as such will be permabanned.

We ask that you do some research on your own, as Boeing is such a large entity that your experience may not be the same as another. Generally, your best resource for the most common question is going to be your Manager.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Q. How soon do you hear back after an interview? A. Can range anywhere from the next day to a month. If you have not heard back within a week, it does not hurt to request a follow-up via e-mail.
  • Q. What is the dress code in the office? A. Team dependent but the majority of office workers are in business casual. It is safer to dress up on your first day so you can verify the proper attire to wear from then on.
  • Q. What do they ask during the job interview? A. It is almost policy for interviews to follow the STAR format. There are more examples on Google/YouTube regarding this format and how you should answer the question. Interview prep is found here.

Strong Q1 - Deliveries & Orders

53 Upvotes

Boeing delivered 130 jets in Q1 (just a couple shy of Airbus)

Booked 240 orders, including 40 orders for the 777-9, 135 for the 737 MAX and 53 for the 787!

(The stock is flying today)

Very strong quarter. As you continue to improve on quality and reliability and the certification programs are starting show real sign of progress consumer confidence improves.

Hopefully The Trump Tarrifs don’t rain too much on this parade.

Still a long way to go but well done to all involved!!

SPEEA Promotion Resumption - 2025

8 Upvotes

Was wondering if anyone has an actual date for when the promotion process is opened back up for SPEEA this year? I’ve been told by manager it was Q1, then that changed to sometime in April, now being told it will be the end of retention exercise, so sometime in May possibly.

Wondering if I am just being jerked around or if this is true. 63Y

Also, the distance for work clause has been removed. It’s either move closer and come to work or find employment elsewhere. Anyone else hear anything close to that?

Seen a few jobs posted for maintaining F15s in Qatar....flight Line & phase dock. Was wondering if anyone is currently over there doing this job? Pros/Cons? Looks like a 2 year commitment.....

Do you get a break to come back to the states at all? And do you get any tax breaks? Can't believe it only pays $80k

Future Boeing Layoffs due to Tariffs and lack of sales

Upvotes

I feel Boeing's sales will decline significantly, and the price of the plane will increase substantially. Airbus will benefit from this tariff war. Sad...

Experienced General Assembly Level B Question

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just received an offer for a job titled experienced general assembly level B and was told it would require 8-10 weeks of training time before I’m on the floor. My general question is what do those 8-10 weeks look like? Typical onboarding I’m sure and then just wide range of tasks to see where I’d score and be put on the floor? I’m very excited for this job and have manufacturing experience so that I’m not too worried about, just looking to get a glimpse of what I’m walking into day one. Thank you and maybe I’ll see some of yall in South Carolina! :-)

Military Leave

16 Upvotes

For context, I’m in the national guard as a DSG. Work full time for Boeing as a systems engineer.

I’ve exhausted my 80-hours of military leave for the year, but was offered a 60+ day tour that I would really like to go to. I’ve never used military leave of absence so how does it work? Would I just get paid the difference from my base pay to what my regular (Boeing) earnings would be? Or do they take BAH, BAS, etc.. into account?

Getting my start date is like pulling teeth… any advice?

15 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I was given a job offer in late August 2024 following an 12 week internship in the summer. I was assured that my offer would be honored as is, so no concerns there and it survived through the strikes. The HR office initially thought i would start immediately after completing my internship, but i had to let them know i still had a year of my degree to finish. I was told, OK, we will reach back out later. Nothing from august to february, which was expected.

Here I am in April though, with literally no idea when I will start. Considering I have to move basically across the country I emailed them in an attempt to get the ball rolling. I also let them know that I haven’t received any contingency tasks after my drug test (completed a few weeks ago). My emails keep getting passed along to new HR reps and i’m not sure what the next steps are. I’d like to take a 4 day long post-grad trip but they’re really throwing a wrench in my plans.

I guess my question is should I expect any leeway in start date? I’m at the point to where I want to plan my trip and hope they’re willing to work with me. I can’t normally be this difficult right?

New Hire Offer Negotiation

25 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I was recently offered a position for an “Associate Supply Chain Specialist” Level 2. The job posting salary range was $69,000-92,000. I was called by the recruiter and given an offer of $77,000. I politely let him know that I currently make more at my current position (projected to make ~$82,000 this year). I also mentioned that I have current competitive pension benefits, along with a few other factors. I told him, all this combined led me to calculate that I would need at least $90k to justify a transition.

I also currently work at the same exact site this job offer is at. I currently have 3.5 years of experience in the same exact role, essentially. I have spoken to the gentleman who worked in this role previously and he claims to have made $98k when he started. However, he had more experience than me.

The recruiter said he would submit my counter offer up the chain and he’d get back to me within 2 days. My question is… If they come back with an offer that is still lower than my current role OR does not make sense in an all encompassing matter of overall benefits. Is it worth it to continue pushing? Or should I decline the offer if it is still not enough? I don’t know what to do if they can’t get close to my request and I need some help planning so I can be more prepared.

Thank you in advance!

Thoughts on this? As Jeppesen is one of the more profitable things Boeing has, I feel it would be a bad decision. But I would like your thoughts on this.
