Nothing open. Every check passed.
Boeing plans to slash 5% of the workforce in its commercial airplane division, the company said Monday, blaming a production ramp-up that is moving slower than it expected.
Stephanie Pope, who leads the commercial aircraft unit, delivered the news in a memo to staff, according to CNBC. The reduction will be handled through a mix of attrition and layoffs.
The move ties the headcount cut directly to output: Boeing's push to build more planes isn't hitting the pace leadership had counted on.
This is a developing story.
