Boeing is opening 700 new jobs to build parts for the new 777X, I applied today in hopes of landing a Machinist or an Assembler position. Lets see what the future holds....
 
Ah, just saw it was in ST Louis. Wish you luck. If you get the job you'll see some amazing stuff. Enjoyable and a bit stressful at the same time. Just something I think you'd like.
 
Yes, St. Louis. My cousin retired from there and we have a few friends working there so may be possible to slip in the door. I got 6 years of Manual machinery under my belt with Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Mechanical and combinations of all. Rebuilding, troubleshooting, modifying, designing and repairing machinery. I used to fabricate my own parts and ran an entire machine shop to fabricate machinery from blueprints so I hope its enough for them to consider. Im talking 1/1000th clearances on specifications.... so I know what Im doing mechanically, just if its something they are interested in having on their grounds. I also applied for working on the F-15 and other high security stuff, working the evening/night shift would be great as my wife work days while i take care of my son. He will be starting school next year so I will be able to sleep during that time. i actually like working nights at the factories, always a quiet ride home without traffic....lol A little bit of a distance from me but the money will be worth it.
 
I like this Boeing

Was that a joke?

Airbus is made by Airbus, Boeing doesn't make the A380. The A380 is pretty dang impressive to see.
 
Boeing is headquartered here in Chicago, and I know where, too. It's not far from either Union Station nor Ogilvie Transportation Center. Very short walk to there.
 
good luck sono!
 
Sounds like a great opportunity Sono, crossing my fingers in hopes you'll be accepted this time around! :P
 
I have friends who work at Boeing (SC), and they seem to be very happy there.

My cousin and our friends all say they were happy there as well, they make good money. I have one friend that works there from highschool, she is in the Financial dept. Been there for years.
 
Yep thats Dr. House !

Thanks everyone on the wishes and hopefuls.
 
Sono, sorry to come up with some down type questions? But . .. will you back etc. allow you to do this kind of work? And how long ago was that experience? Tech changes so fast these days.

GOOD LUCK

I don't know, that's one of my fears as I hurt just doing normal household stuff. Depending on the job I suppose? It has been almost 6 years since the injury and about 3 since my last surgery. Its not bringing me down, no worries there, as my close friends have cautioned me as well.
What if my back wont hold up? Why suffer and make myself worst?
I guess when money is tight you will do anything to make ends meet... Im just tired of living month to month on disability that doesn't go far... But then again, with my pain meds and all, they probly wont accept me anyways now. As long as I don't have to do a lot of lifting or brawling type stuff, I may be ok, but still I hurt. And standing all day will kill my back as I cant really stand for long periods either... kind of a sucky situation, but I am bored, I am restless. I have always been a heavy laborer and its killing me to just sit around, but the pain also keeps me at bay as well... so damned if I do and damned if I don't...lol
