Boeing to cut about 500 from Wichita work force
Production falls; company expects about 7,000 layoffs
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — The Boeing Co. will cut 7,000 workers this year and reduce production of its 737- and 767-model jetliners because the airline business has failed to improve as expected.
Yesterday's announcement came after several canceled and delayed orders from airlines in the past week.
about 500.
Total employment at the Helicopters Division in the Philadelphia area will be reduced by approximately 800 jobs while employment in Wichita is expected to decline by
The planned cutbacks amount to about 6 percent of the company's workforce of 117,331.
"These job reductions are higher than we anticipated just a few weeks ago," said Frank Shrontz, Boeing chairman and chief executive officer. "Since the beginning of the year, several customers came to us asking to postpone airplane deliveries because of the continued softness of the airline industry."
After discussions with these customers, Boeing decided to reduce production rates on the 737 and 767 airplanes, Shrontz said.
Last week, while releasing Boeing's 1994 earnings, Shrontz said that aircraft production rates might be cut further because of unfavorable operating results experienced by certain U.S. airlines.

In morning trading yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange, Boeing was up 62 1/2 cents a share to $46.50.
The lower production rates, combined with previously planned decreases in company employment, will result in approximately 6,500 jobs being eliminated from the company's operations in Washington state this year. Previous estimates stated that about 5,000 jobs would be lost.
The work force at other Boeing locations will increase by 800. Most of the hiring is tied to the construction of NASA's Space Station.
In its earnings statement last week, Boeing reported that profits fell 48 percent in the fourth quarter of 1994 because of fewer deliveries.
Boeing production nose-dived from 32 planes a month at the start of 1988 to 23 months a month at the beginning of 1994.
