Exclusive News From Boeing

We also must take a realistic view of the world when it comes to cost and delivery time lines . Things are different after the COVID-19 pandemic and as an industry , we are turning the corner , but there is more work to be done in getting the global supply chain healthy again .

I am proud of the team . Together we have made great progress in returning BDS to a more predictable business and meeting customer commitments . I look forward to the gains we will make in 2024 .
Q : You mentioned passionate employees as a key to MS & B ’ s success . When did you find a passion for aviation ?
Naturally , I chased that passion to college , where I studied aerospace engineering . Fast forward to 2012 , and I was the P-8 program manager when we delivered the first P-8A Poseidon to the U . S . Navy . If I wasn ’ t already completely hooked on this field by then , that airplane did the job ! I ’ m the same kid who used to spend summers at the Oshkosh Air Show , except now I get to build planes even more advanced than I ever could ’ ve imagined . I ’ m incredibly lucky that I get to live my childhood dream every day . And working alongside thousands of teammates who share the same passion I do , makes the journey even sweeter . I love my job !
A : From an early age , I wanted to build airplanes . I grew up going to air shows with my family and constantly talking about aviation , which came easy since several of my family members are pilots . That ’ s when the passion began .
