According to a report by the Associated Press on the 17th, Boeing announced an update on its layoff plan in October, issuing layoff notices to over 400 employees who belong to the American Airlines professional engineering employee association. It is reported that Boeing announced a layoff of 438 people, including 220 technical department employees and 218 professionals such as engineers and researchers, hoping to improve its deteriorating financial situation. The layoff decisions are expected to officially take effect in mid-January next year, and affected employees will receive severance pay and medical benefits. The report states that the local chapter of the American Airlines professional engineering employee association has around 0.017 million Boeing employees, most of whom are in Washington, with some in Oregon, California, and Utah. Boeing's financial report released in October showed that the company suffered a loss of nearly 6.2 billion USD (about 44.8 billion RMB) in the third quarter due to strikes and other factors. The cumulative loss this year is nearly 8 billion USD (about 57.9 billion RMB). The company’s CEO, Dave Calhoun, previously stated that in the coming months, Boeing plans to lay off about 0.017 million people globally, which represents about 10% of its total workforce, affecting multiple sectors including commercial and global services.
