If you want to work in engineering and to have an impact that's global, come work in the aerospace sector.
Dennis Muilenburg
The future of innovation has to include not only the technology, but economic viability.
I've witnessed firsthand the critical role suppliers - and especially the best ones - play in Boeing's success.
As we continue to drive the benefits of integrating our enterprise skills, capabilities, and experience - what we call operating as 'One Boeing' - we will find new and better ways to engage and inspire employees, deliver innovation that drives customer success, and produce results to fuel future growth and prosperity for all our stakeholders.
I'm an avid bicyclist, so I catch some sun while I'm out bicycling.
The commercial airplane business is an incredible growth business.
Substantial services growth is core to Boeing's strategy.
I think it's really important that we have a level playing field for global trade.
Standing up Global Services will accelerate our capabilities across all Boeing services and support areas - from our traditional parts, modifications, and upgrades business to strengthening our data analytics and information-based offerings.
If we ramp up capabilities in China, including additional 737-related work, the actions that we'll take are actions that ultimately allow us to grow jobs in the U.S.
Aerospace services represents one of our biggest growth opportunities for the future.
We continue to see acquisitions as an opportunity area for us. It's one of the tools that we use to grow.
We see the Super Hornet as an opportunity... to tie directly into the 'Make in India' strategy.
I spent the first 15 years of my career in Seattle.
Robots allow our employees to work safely, faster, and at less cost.
Every airplane sale overseas generates U.S. jobs.
Lives literally depend on what we do.
We'll continue to take the right actions to make sure we're a profitable business.
I think it's really important to have a long-term perspective.
We're not in the business of taking large operations in the U.S. and moving them overseas.
We work on things that really matter.
It's vital to understand where you may have gaps in your knowledge or experience and to surround yourself with a team that complements that.
We treat the management-to-workforce relationship as very important and will continue to invest in that relationship.
Our enduring values as a company are the most important of our mission and purpose.
Eventually we're going to go to Mars, and I firmly believe the first person that sets foot on Mars will get there on a Boeing rocket.
It's very important that we all have a common understanding of our purpose as a business - what we aspire to - and a strategy for achieving it.
We want to generate jobs in the U.S.
We have very close relationships with our Canadian customers.
By harnessing our teammates' unique skills and passion for giving, our professional networks and partnerships, and our financial resources, we will inspire the dreamers and doers of tomorrow and drive positive, lasting change in our communities across the globe.
If the U.S. were to not reauthorize the Ex-Im bank, it's in essence unilaterally disarming in a globally competitive environment.
I know things like a 20% corporate tax rate will allow us to be more competitive in the global marketplace. That's what our competitors enjoy today around the world. And when we're more competitive, we win in the marketplace, and that allows us to invest and grow for the future.
In the long run, competition makes us better... it drives innovation.
Our first use of cash is invested organically, secondly returning values our shareholders - roughly 100 percent free cash flow. And then thirdly, mergers, acquisitions, partnerships that complement our organic strategy. We are going to continue down that path.
I believe you'll see a low Earth orbit space travel business begin.
I think tax reform is the single most important thing we can do in this country to unleash economic energy. It's going to unleash growth.
First thing we're going to do with the benefits of tax reform is we're going to invest in innovation. We're going to invest in capital, new product lines. It's going to create more manufacturing jobs and our shareholders are going to benefit, too. We're going to improve dividends, share repurchase.
The thing I love about President Trump is he's really focused on helping business succeed.
I think the work on tax reform, the work that's being done on regulatory reform is very important. And just having a seat at the table, I think, is so important for business today as we think about what's going to benefit the economy of this country, how we're going to create great manufacturing jobs.
We can create opportunities to generate value by working across the entire breadth of Boeing.
We know our future's not guaranteed, so every day, we have to relentlessly pursue additional actions to drive our competitiveness.
Our continued investment in productivity will add to our margins, and you'll see that reflected in the bottom line earnings.
I've always thought of Boeing as the premier aerospace company in the world, so as I was coming up through school, it was the company I aspired to work for.
Boeing has won in the marketplace for 100 years because of innovation, and we need to continue to invest in innovation for the future. And our cash generation strength is what allows us to do that.
When you think about our 13,000 small and medium businesses in America that are part of our supply chain, and that's more than 1.5 million manufacturing jobs. So it's a significant job generator.
The opportunity ahead of us in terms of transforming how we design and build, how we manufacture, is even greater than some of the product innovation that we're going to bring to the table.
I have always loved aeroplanes and spacecraft and the design element.
I'm a big fan of having a team with different thoughts and backgrounds and experiences; that makes for a better enterprise and better decision-making.
We need to stay on the leading edge of technology, that technology in our products, in our internal process and manufacturing. But most importantly, we need the talent. It's multidisciplinary talent. It's talent that knows how to operate globally, that has technology savvy and a business savvy.
I think you're going to see an interest in space tourism, space travel for the sake of travel.
Unmanned airplanes - and more broadly, autonomy in space, in the air, undersea - is a big future area for Boeing and an area where we are continuing to build out collaborations. So we are always looking for partners in that arena.
