Boeing will delay its 777X plane and cut 10% of workforce as it deals with a strike and 737 Max issues --[Reported by Umva mag]

• Boeing said Friday that it would cut 10% of its 170,000-strong workforce.
• CEO Kelly Ortberg said the company was in a "difficult position" amid a strike.
• The planemaker is still dealing with the fallout of quality-control issues on some of its plane models.

Boeing said Friday that it would cut its workforce by 10%, further delay its 777X plane, and discontinue a freighter model as it deals with the financial fallout of an ongoing strike.

In a note to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg said Boeing was in a "difficult position" and that "restoring our company requires tough decisions." The planemaker is mired in regulatory headaches after a January incident in which a door plug blew out of a 737 Max, as well as an ongoing strike.

Ortberg, who took over as CEO in August, said the workforce reduction included executives and manager-level positions. As of the end of 2023, Boeing had about 170,000 employees.

Other cost-cutting measures include discontinuing the 767 cargo plane, Ortberg said.
