Boeing brings in early retirement to deal with Covid 19 impact 

Boeing is reacting to the effects of the pandemic on airlines, with expectations to begin early retirement and buyout packages, The Wall Street Journal reports.
An internal announcement of the moves was expected as soon as early Thursday.

The company has yet to announce any layoffs of its 160,000-person workforce, even amid the 737 MAX and wide-body production suspensions. CEO David Calhoun has said "I have to keep my workforce in place" so they're ready when the recovery comes.
