Boeing can designate overtime 9-12 hrs a day and 2 weekends in a row before you can have a weekend off. The problem is that the 3rd weekend becomes all double time for both Sat and Sun. The 1st to weekends is one and a half overtime for Sat and double for Sun. By the 3rd weekend you want to work to make the real money and you get trapped. Many become accustomed to those overtime pay checks and there families become accustomed to them as well. So what do you do? It's easy to say go home and be with your family if your not accustomed to those overtime pay checks. There is a contract that ends next Sept. If you are smart you save the overtime for next year in case the Company forces a strike. I'm not getting into why the Company would force a strike so please don't ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528966332797316179.post-7734976679320004222007-07-05T14:46:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:46:00.000-04:00For those who don't work at Boeing.

During the last up cycle in the mid 90's I practically lived there. 12 hrs a day and 8 hrs on weekends. At one point I worked 16 weeks in row before taking a weekend off. This nearly cost me my marriage. I really feel for those who support the workers. This isn't going to get any better any time soon since Boeing has stated that they want to ramp up which really equals more overtime. This is just the way it goes at Boeing love it or leave it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528966332797316179.post-88280778925735062782007-07-05T14:36:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:36:00.000-04:00Well Boeing DOES have a policy about leaking infor...Well Boeing DOES have a policy about leaking information to the public good or bad.

He gave me the old we've grown distant speech, started dieting and had me pick out new nice clothes for him to wear to work. I had hoped it was just the challenges of the job, he was promoted to chairman recently. <BR/><BR/>I gave him a lot of space to deal with the stress of the job, but it was too much space. I've given up family vacations, road trips and bonding time for this plane; if I had a chance to do it over, I'd say hell no, Boeing isn't going to own us! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your call to others, I hope the mistakes I've made can help someone else. And I still hate this plane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528966332797316179.post-16243336004331498652007-06-30T11:21:00.000-04:002007-06-30T11:21:00.000-04:00Dear anonymous,I am sorry that I completely misund...Dear anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I am sorry that I completely misunderstood your point of view. Are you sure your man is flirting with another woman at work? When I was working long hours on 787, I did not have time to flirt. <BR/><BR/>Let's make your message a wake-up call to all men and women spending too much time with 787 and not enough time with their family. <B>"Your family is sacrificing their needs while you are spending time with 787.

Because she "understands" what he's going through with this plane instead of the woman that sacrificed her needs because this plane was so important. Tell my kid how good he's going to feel in a year without a dad. He's going to be at rollout with the other woman, yeah I'm going to be so thrilled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528966332797316179.post-44786933661064266362007-06-29T22:39:00.000-04:002007-06-29T22:39:00.000-04:00Dear anonymous,You may be pissed that 787 ruined y...Dear anonymous,<BR/>You may be pissed that 787 ruined your personal life.
