Sounds like Boeing is ok destroying pilot's careers as long as they are employed by an independent contractor or regular airline pilots who were fired during a strike. Is that the deal? Seriously, why would Boeing get involved in an airline's labor dispute in the first place, even through a contractor? Seems like a lose-lose proposition and they're trying to pass it off like it's no big deal.

Those contractors took the jobs of 12 airline pilots who were fired during or after the strike, another contractor who refused to steal someone else's job got fired, and Boeing made it happen. How else can this be accurately described?

Boeing has a history of anti-union behavior (taking tax breaks from Washington, then outsourcing a bunch of jobs to non-union plants in South Carolina), so I'm not at all surprised that they'd get involved in that kind of stuff if enough money exchanged hands.

I am very disappointed in Boeing (again, and again.)

The ME3 and NAI are tremendous threats to our industry, and Boeing is 100% behind them. In fact, Boeing talked Trump into supporting (or not killing) this flag-of-convenience plague to begin with.

FU Boeing. Apparently your ethics suck like your 737. Give me an Airbus for the rest of my career

And after your career as a passenger.

Was on newer 737, LAX - LAS, my small backpack couldn't even fit under the uncomfortable seat. Same backpack easily fits under Airbus seat. New seats looked good, too bad they were a POS.

Good for that one pilot. May good luck be on his side. To the other 11 please add their name to the scab list.
