    Might as well promise them anything. Boeing is likely to fold or require layoffs soon anyways.

      The US government wouldn’t let Boeing fall. As much as I’d love seeing that happen, the strategic importance of having a US-based manufacturer for large commercial airplanes is too large to let them go bust. The US as a country would buy themselves a lot of dependency on other countries through potential tariffs, etc.

        I agree, but I am not sure what that will look like. Restructuring? Bail out?

        They currently don’t make anything anyone even wants. How long till they can retool and get competitive?

        In any case, it would seem like whatever is promised to employees now may not be what they get in the future.
