Boeing to cut 15,000 jobs in Covid-19 'body blow'
The struggling US plane maker employs 150,000 people worldwide and was already under pressure after being forced to ground its 737 Max planes following two fatal crashes.
The chinavirus outbreak has led to a collapse in air travel. BA said it will cut 12,000 jobs while Airbus called it the "gravest crisis" the industry has "ever known".

BEA: Real GDP decreased at 4.8% Annualized Rate in Q1
Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 4.8 percent in the first quarter of 2020, according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2019, real GDP increased 2.1 percent.
…
The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter reflected negative contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, exports, and private inventory investment that were partly offset by positive contributions from residential fixed investment, federal government spending, and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased.
The decrease in PCE reflected decreases in services, led by health care, and goods, led by motor vehicles and parts. The decrease in nonresidential fixed investment primarily reflected a decrease in equipment, led by transportation equipment. The decrease in exports primarily reflected a decrease in services, led by travel. The advance Q1 GDP report, at minus 4.8% annualized, was close to expectations.
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased at 7.6% annualized rate in Q1, down from 1.8% increase in Q4. Residential investment (RI) increased at a 21.0% rate in Q1. Equipment investment decreased at a 15.2% annualized rate, and investment in non-residential structures decreased at a 9.7% pace.
