Boeing continues to receive bad news following their trade-off of consumer safety for DEI.
Following numerous, high-profile safety incidents involving Boeing airplanes, consumers are now avoiding flights that use Boeing aircraft.
This means that consumers are placing pressure on airline providers to stay clear of Boeing. This will, in turn, cause a decline in Boeing’s revenues and stock price.
This is yet another lesson in going woke and going broke—or, at least, very seriously damaging a business reputation.
Boeing was respected worldwide as a leading, if not the leading, manufacturer of commercial jets—now look at them.
Concerned consumers and media outlets alike all shared their reactions to the demise of a once-great company
Boeing’s safety concerns, limited availability on parts and absolute shit show handling consumer shipping placed incredible stress on Airbus and now Russian aviation is experiencing a resurgence. We really are about to experience a crazy economic shift in our lifetime https://t.co/ikzGNgSC5Y

NBC News shared the story of one troubled traveler who is now staying clear of Boeing airplanes:
But after a series of quality control incidents, starting with the dramatic door panel blowout on a Boeing 737 Max midair during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, Amineddoleh prefers to fly on non-Boeing planes.
She recently asked for a refund for upcoming flights she had booked to Miami and Europe, and bought replacement tickets on Airbus flights, despite a layover in her new Europe itinerary.
Ticker Trends explained: “Consumers are increasingly thinking about safety and what aircraft they are flying in, and being aided by popular sites like Kayak that now offer travelers the ability to filter by aircraft.”
