Earlier, Boeing's boss warned the firm was at a "crossroads" as losses surged to roughly $6bn.

Striking Boeing workers have rejected a new offer from the plane-making giant, which included a 35% pay rise over four years.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union said 64% of its members voted against the proposed deal.

More than 30,000 of Boeing’s employees have joined the walkout, which started on 13 September, after an initial offer was rejected.

    From current and past Boeing employees I’ve spoken to, the pension was basically stolen from them with a slimy holiday vote. They don’t want the 401k with zero matching, they want their pensions back and that’s the line in the sand. Boeing is using their media clout and holding production jobs in Seattle and Everett hostage to scare people into taking the deal for another 7 years till the next vote. Moving jobs to SC where union enrollment is less or non-existent is the goal.
