The 'Dog Days' Of Summer Are Not Causing Boeing To Sweat
EVERETT, WA - FEBRUARY 14: Boeing 777 passenger planes in various stages of completion factory in Everett, Washington. (Photo by) Getty Images Boeing continues to consolidate its gains as production of its key moneymaker, the 737MAX, neared its monthly production cap and progress on other programs was evident, despite an ongoing strike in its defense unit. Since the first of the year, the company's stock has risen 37%, and aircraft deliveries are outpacing analyst estimates. In July, Boeing delivered 37 MAXes. The FAA has mandated a production cap of 38 per month for safety and quality concerns. This compares to an average of 35 per month over the previous three months of June, May and April. Boeing intends to move to a rate of 42 per month later in the year, pending FAA approval. "Our fundamental changes to strengthen safety and quality are producing improved results as we stabilize our operations and deliver higher quality airplanes, products and services to our customers," said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing president and chief executive officer during a 2nd quarter earnings call. In first half of August, Boeing delivered 17 aircraft according to Cirium, an aviation data company. These included 15 MAXes, one 777 freighter and one 787-9, indicating sustainability of assembly operations and supply chain performance. Included in the MAXes were three deliveries to Chinese airlines (China Southern, China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines). Despite the tariff turmoil, bans on delivery of aircraft were lifted by the US administration in June of this year with a 90 day suspension. That suspension expired on August 11, but was renewed for another 90 days. It is now set to expire on November 11, and during that time a 10% reciprocal tariff remains in effect. China is a key market for Boeing, and several Chinese airlines are hoping to rely on Boeing to expand their fleets. At the end of July, Boeing's backlog stood at 6,572 aircraft. Ten percent of that backlog is slated for delivery to Chinese airlines. Another important milestone was reached in the 777X program with the fifth 777-9 completing its first flight. Boeing is hoping to conclude its testing and certification requirements by end of the year, allowing first deliveries in 2026. Originally scheduled for 2020, the program is now six years behind schedule with an unfilled backlog of 551 aircraft. For the first half of the year the company's revenues have increased 26% following a shutdown of operations after a near fatal door blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737MAX in January 2024. That incident resulted in the firing of the Commercial Airplanes unit CEO and Boeing company CEO, who was replaced by Ortberg a year ago. Although the company is still losing money, operating cash flow turned positive in the second quarter at $227 million versus a nearly $4 Billion negative figure in the same period in 2024. RENTON, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 13: A strike sign is pictured outside a Boeing factory. (Photo by) Getty Images These positive developments were offset by a continuing strike in its St Louis based defense unit. The strike by 3,200 members of International Association of Machinists unit 837 entered its second week with no clear signs of progress. Although endorsed by labor management, the rank and file rejected the initial offer of a 20% wage increase and a $5,000 acceptance bonus. After a two week 'cooling off' period, the strike commenced earlier in August and Boeing has not showed any immediate effort to resolve the impasse. The company has rescinded the $5,000 bonus offer and Bryan Bryant, President of the national union is urging 'the Boeing Company to return to the bargaining table to negotiate a good faith agreement commensurate with the skills and dedication of this workforce.' He has also asked for lawmakers to intervene to end the strike. Boeing's stance indicates a growing confidence in the ability to weather business and labor challenges. It resolved a longer strike in November of last year that affected 33,000 workers in their Commercial Airplanes unit in Seattle, after a month long work stoppage. Although global trade turmoil and political tensions will continue, the largest exporter for the US is on a steady, upward course.

AI is making hiring harder on both sides. Employers and applicants are going back to basics to find the right fit.
Good morning. Many of their colleagues were downsizing and preparing for their "empty nest" years. But one couple in their mid-40s moved in the opposite direction: they bought a bigger house. They don't always use the space, the cleaning is endless, and the bills are higher. A decade later, they're convinced they made the right decision. In today's big story, we all face an AI-supercharged job market. Job seekers shared how they're trying to stand out, while hiring managers revealed how they're adapting to identify real talent. What's on deck: Markets: Are you struggling as a day trader? This psychologist might know why. Tech: It's not just Big Tech that's clamoring after AI engineers. Everyone wants to date them. Business: Like their customers, millennial-coded brands are facing the cold, hard reality of aging. But first, hand-delivered is hard to ignore. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here. The big story Hiring is going old school Getty Images; Tyler Le/BI Perhaps you did everything right. You spent hours researching the company. Hours more rewriting your résumé. The cover letter? Polished, professional, and personal. You click "submit." And wait. The days spin into weeks. The inbox never dings. You're not alone. White-collar hiring has slowed, layoffs feel de rigueur, and many who do have jobs are clinging onto them — whether they're happy or not. "My dream job might exist," a frustrated Gen Z job seeker told BI. "But I'm one of 400 people applying for it." The issue cuts both ways. For hiring managers, their dream employee might also exist. But amid a crowd of AI-generated applications, they may never find them. BI spoke with people on either side of the hiring divide. Job seekers shared how they're trying to stand out, and employers revealed their strategies for spotting real talent. They're going old school. Job seekers are getting creative, with some finding success going back to basics: handing in a paper résumé in person. Businesses are adapting, too. With AI tools now helping with résumés, cover letters, and even live interviews, measuring a candidate's suitability for a role can be challenging. Is this the person we want to hire — or just the AI that coached them? Victoria Thomas, the chief business officer of a Porsche customization and racing company, said AI-crafted résumés can make candidates seem more qualified than they really are. To combat this, her team flies candidates to their Wisconsin office for in-person interviews and tryouts. The workplace is changing — and so are the rules for job searching. BI has tapped HR managers, recruiters, career coaches, and executives for their best advice on everything from crafting a standout résumé to networking your way to a final offer. So, before you send off that job application, you can find everything you need to gain an edge here. 3 things in markets 1. Meet the 16-year-old prodigy at Citadel Securities. Kairan Quazi, a quant developer at the New York trading giant, caught the world's attention when he landed a job at SpaceX at age 14. He told BI why he switched from Big Tech to quant finance. 2. What makes (and breaks) a day trader? Andrew Menaker, a psychologist who coaches traders on and off Wall Street, has an answer. He said ego and aggression are traits that lead traders astray, and shared tips for those trying to get in on the trade. 3. Where to invest if the market goes south. If you're holding cash right now, it's a good idea to have a strategy for buying the dip in case a bear market hits. Two rules of thumb: Don't enter the market all at once, and don't panic. Here's where experts suggest investing. 3 things in tech 1. In Silicon Valley, the ladies want a tech nerd. Professional matchmakers in the Bay Area — whose fees range from $5,900 to $500,000 — told BI more women are looking for AI engineers, thanks to their high salaries and job stability. It's not clear how long interest will last, but for now, the AI boom is making nerds sexy. 2. The startup turning Elon Musk's DOGE-fueled chaos into cash. Legalist, a startup founded by one of Peter Thiel's fellows, provides gap financing for vendors awaiting payouts from the federal government. Here's how they cashed in on the havoc DOGE wrecked. 3. How these Gen Zers beat the odds to score roles in tech. The industry is hemorrhaging entry-level jobs thanks to AI and corporate cost-cutting. Young workers told BI how they scored roles after casting a wide net or networking around the clock. 3 things in business 1. Millennial brands hit middle age. Glossier is at Sephora. Mideas are having holes drilled in them. What once seemed like an industry adjustment toward direct, values-centered relationships with consumers has been exposed as a marketing ploy — and today, these brands are either dying or becoming boring companies, BI's Juliana Kaplan writes. 2. Spotify's ad business is laggy. Advertising made up 11% of its business in June, a far cry from its 20% target. "We have simply been moving too slowly," CEO Daniel Ek said on the company's latest earnings call. Industry insiders said poor customer service and low podcast ad rates were also factors. 3. The AT&T CEO's blunt memo is a test case for leaders. Since BI was the first to report on AT&T CEO John Stankey's viral memo to managers, hundreds of readers, including leaders, have weighed in. BI spoke to current and former CEOs for their thoughts on the memo. In other news They fled cities in the pandemic exodus, seeking a cheaper cost of living, safety, and more.

Prince Harry's former charity Sentebale cuts UK staff to just one employer after bitter row
Sentebale, the African charity Prince Harry had co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, has sensationally dismissed all but one of its UK staffers following a bitter, high-profile row with the duke. The organization, which the Duke of Sussex had kick-started in honor of his late mother, Princess Diana, is said to be grappling with financial woes behind the scenes, prompting the major staffing changes. Earlier this month, the Charity Commission for England and Wales announced that it discovered no evidence of 'widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir' at the organization. Advertisement 5 African charitySentebale has sensationally dismissed all but one of its UK staffers following a bitter, high-profile row with the duke. Getty Images for Sentebale While the probe found no 'overreach' by Harry or the chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, it criticized both parties for allowing the dispute 'to play out publicly.' The bitter conflict prompted a mass exodus at the organization — with widespread resignations taking place across the board, The Times of London reports. Advertisement The charity has confirmed that only one full-time employee remains at its UK headquarters following the layoffs, adding that a total of 7 departures will be taking place between April and September. A redundancy notice indicated the organization 'does not have' donor funding and was entering 'retrenchment,' the outlet adds. 5 Prince Harry had co-founded the charity with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006. Getty Images for Sentebale Among those dismissed was the charity's global head of finance and compliance. Advertisement The organization has since claimed that the layoffs were part of a 'global restructuring' plan that had been discussed in early 2024 and announced in December. 'Improve efficiencies, transition senior executive roles to Southern Africa and to respond to changing service delivery demands,' the charity said in a statement. 5 Harry exited the charity following an internal dispute with the chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka. Getty Images for Sentebale They said the restructuring was prompted by 'increasing uncertainty relating to international donor funding specifically (e.g. USAID) and uncertainty relating to events such as polo.' Advertisement 'It is worth noting that the narrative being created with regards to departures is entirely misleading,' the organization added. Follow The Post's royal family live blog for the latest pics, news, exclusive details and more The staffing changes come after it emerged that the Mamohato Children's Centre in Lesotho — which looked after more than 700 children each year — had been 'effectively mothballed.' Staffers have been asked to save money by working from home, the Times of London added. 'The main thing we're all waiting for are the accounts,' a source told the outlet, adding that the organization apparently told its employees that its $1.9 million budget, which had been accumulated over 20 years, had been fully spent. 5 The 'Spare' author, 40, sensationally left his role as patron at the African charity back in March. REUTERS 'There have been a lot of redundancies, there's been people who have been let go, a lot of churn and people have left,' the insider added. The Post has reached out to Sentebale for comment.

Getty Images for Sentebale Advertisement The organization asked the investigating body to make it clear that its report did not specifically look into accusations of racism and misogyny directed at the duke, who quit royal life in 2020. The Invictus Games founder's reps have since confirmed to The Post that he is weighing out his options and possibilities following his bitter departure from the organization.
