Up above the World so high ! – looking up to the sky I saw this big aircraft at a great height – could decipher something written on Chinese and its no. as B 2483 or perhaps 2423 !!
Boeing Jets are works of marvel !! The Boeing Company was started in 1916, by American lumber industrialist William E. Boeing founding Pacific Aero Products Company in Seattle, Washington. Shortly before doing so, he and Conrad Westervelt created the "B&W" seaplane. In 1917, the organization was renamed Boeing Airplane Company, with William Boeing forming Boeing Airplane & Transport Corporation in 1928.
Read that a few months ago, on 13.9.2024, Boeing workers went on strike for the first time since 2008. On October 12, 2024, the company announced plans to cut 17,000 jobs, about 10% of its global workforce, "to align with financial reality". It would also delay the first deliveries of its 777X airliner by a year and recorded $5 billion in losses in the third quarter of the year. On October 28, Boeing initiated a significant share sale, valued at nearly $19 billion, to address cash-flow issues and avoid a potential downgrade to junk status. On November 1, 2024, the IAM endorsed an improved contract offer which would see a 38% pay rise over four years, a $12,000 ratification bonus, and the reinstatement of an annual bonus scheme. Boeing workers accepted the pay deal, ending a seven-week-long walk out.
Interesting !
