Boeing agrees to buy fuselage maker Spirit AeroSystems in $4.7 billion deal

Boeing said Monday that it will buy back its struggling fuselage maker Spirit AeroSystems in an all-stock deal that the plane maker has said will improve safety and quality control.

It said it agreed to pay $37.25 a share in Boeing stock for Spirit, giving the plane supplier an equity value of $4.7 billion. Including Spirit’s debt the deal has a transaction value of $8.3 billion Boeing said. Spirit’s shares closed Friday at $32.87 a share, a market capitalization of about $3.8 billion.

Boeing in March disclosed it was in talks to acquire the Wichita, Kansas-based company, weeks after a fuselage panel blew out midair from a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9 on an Alaska Airlines flight, sparking a fresh crisis for Boeing. Spirit makes the fuselages for the 737 and other parts, including sections of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliners.

In 2005, Boeing spun off operations in Kansas and Oklahoma that became the present-day Spirit AeroSystems. Boeing accounted for about 70% of Spirit’s revenue last year, while roughly a quarter came from making parts for Boeing’s main rival, Airbus, according to a securities filing.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, who has said he will step down at the end of the year, on Monday said bringing Spirit in-house will “fully align” the companies’ production systems and workforces.

Why Boeing wants to buy back Spirit AeroSystems

“Among the many actions we’re taking as a company, this is one of the most significant in demonstrating our unwavering commitment to strengthen quality and make certain that Boeing is the company the world needs it to be,” Calhoun said in a message to employees.

He said he expects the deal to close mid-2025, subject to approval by regulators, Spirit shareholders and the sale of Spirit’s operations dedicated to Airbus planes.

Spirit’s CEO, Pat Shanahan, is considered a possible successor for Calhoun.

Airbus, meanwhile, said Monday it has reached an agreement with Spirit so that the European aircraft manufacturer is compensated $559 million by Spirit to acquire its manufacturing lines dedicated to Airbus planes. Those include operations in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the wings and mid-fuselage of the A220 are produced, A220 pylons in Wichita and A350 fuselage sections in North Carolina. Airbus will pay $1 for the assets.

Mounting pressure

The deal comes as Boeing continues to face fallout from the fuselage blowout earlier this year.

U.S. prosecutors plan to charge and offer Boeing a plea deal to a conspiracy fraud charge tied to the development of its 737 Max planes, two of which crashed in 2018 and 2019 and killed all 346 people on board, according to attorneys for the victims’ family members.

The Justice Department in May, months after the Alaska accident, said Boeing had violated a 2021 settlement that protected it from prosecution because it allegedly failed to install and maintain a certain compliance program.

A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board into the Alaska Airlines accident on Jan. 5 said it appeared the bolts that hold the door plug in place weren’t attached to the Max 9 when it left Boeing’s factory and was handed over to Alaska Airlines months prior.

That was the most serious of a host of production problems on Boeing planes, which also included Spirit-made fuselages that had misdrilled holes and misconnected fuselage panels. One way Boeing has tried to improve quality is to accept only fuselages without defects so that repairs or additional manufacturing steps won’t have to be made out of sequence, reducing the chances of errors.

The broader safety crisis stemming from the door plug blowout on the Alaska flight has slowed Boeing’s deliveries of new planes to airlines, and has driven financial hits for both Spirit and Boeing. Boeing’s CFO in May said the company would burn, rather than generate cash this year — about $8 billion in the first half of 2024.

Boeing shares are down close to 30% this year.

The Federal Aviation Administration has said it won’t let Boeing expand production until it is satisfied with its production lines.

Calhoun was skewered by lawmakers in a June Senate hearing over the company’s safety record and what some senators lamented as a lack of improvement in the wake of two deadly Max crashes.

I suffered from back pain for years — here’s what finally worked for me

0

Manage back pain better with the right products, including these editor-approved picks. (Getty)

I’ll never forget the first time I started having back pain. I tried to hop out of bed in the morning as usual and it was excruciating. It took me several minutes to stand up straight, and I spent the day shuffling around, totally hunched over.

Sitting was incredibly painful, so I started working standing up. After driving, I’d spend several minutes awkwardly standing next to my car, trying to get fully upright again before I could start walking. At one point, my upper torso shifted to the left and locked up that way, forcing me to walk around crooked.

I finally got an MRI and discovered that I had several herniated discs. My doctor isn’t sure why — it could be something as simple as repeatedly lugging around my son’s (incredibly heavy) car seat. I’ve seen several back pain specialists and have been told that there’s nothing they can do short of surgery or steroids, both of which I’d rather avoid.

After years of physical therapy, I finally found a solution that works for me: Biking and swimming, along with daily stretching and core strengthening at home. It requires time and energy, but I’ll happily do it if it means I can avoid back pain in the future. It’s been four years since I made major tweaks to my routine, and I haven’t had a back pain flare since.

I know I’m not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 39% of Americans say they have back pain. If you’re one of them, it’s a good idea to get evaluated by a specialist to figure out why you’re having issues, says Dr. Christopher Wolf, orthopedic spine surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. If you can figure out the source of your pain, you can work to avoid it in the future, according to physical therapist Susan Fu, co-director of Rehabilitation Services at Providence Saint John’s Health Center’s Performance Therapy Center in Santa Monica, California.

A doctor or physical therapist can evaluate you and help determine your next steps, but back pain treatment generally involves some form of stretching, ice and heat therapy, and strengthening, Wolf says. Fortunately, many products can help, including the tried-and-true buys below.

Amazon

Resistance bands offer an easy way to strength train without a lot of equipment. This five-pack from Fit Simplify comes in extra-light to extra-heavy resistance levels, allowing you to try a range of difficulties and build up to tougher bands. They’re also handy for making core-strengthening exercises like bicycle crunches more challenging. This set comes in several colors and comes with a carrying bag.

$12 at Amazon

Amazon

Your glutes (aka butt muscles) tend to weaken when you have lower back pain, which is why lateral leg raises and hip extensions with weights can help, Wolf says. 

These weights can help strengthen your glutes and support your back. This brand offers a wide range of wrap-around weights, from ¼ pound to 9 pounds. This 1½-pound version is great for most people, but it’s a good idea to check with your doctor first about which one is right for you.

$13 at Amazon

Amazon

Wolf says foam rollers are great for working hard-to-stretch spots, including your IT band (a long piece of connective tissue that runs from your hip to your knee that can contribute to back pain). To use it, put the foam roller on the ground, lie on your side on top of it, and roll the area from your hip to your knee while applying some pressure to the roller.

The molded polypropylene will keep its firmness even with daily use. Choose from 18-, 24- and 36-inch-long versions.

$14 at Amazon

Amazon

Ice can help soothe pain when inflammation gets to be too much. The ColePak has a flexible ice pack and elastic straps that help it conform to your back, knees, shoulders, or anywhere else you need relief. Bear in mind that gel packs like this one get very cold, so you might need to wear a shirt between you and your pack, Fu says. 

This product can also be used for heat therapy to increase blood flow to sore areas. Just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so.

$16 at Amazon

Amazon

This handy strap has 10 loops, so you can easily find the right length for whatever body part you’re trying to stretch. This tool is especially handy if your lower back is the issue. “You can use it to stretch out your hamstrings, which helps your pelvis and back muscles relax,” Wolf says.

The woven nylon material will hold up for years of use and, at over 6 feet long, it works for even the tallest among us. 

$16 at Amazon

Amazon

You can do plenty of exercises with a ball like this one, largely involving core-strengthening moves like planks and side planks, Wolf says. Stability balls are also good for targeting hard-to-stretch areas, he adds. 

These come in a range of sizes to suit your height. The 55-centimeter version works for people between 5 feet and 5 feet 6 inches tall; use the on-page chart to find the proper size.

$18 at Amazon

Amazon

Massage can help you relieve muscle spasms, but that’s not always an option. To treat pain at home, Fu recommends having therapy balls handy. One simple exercise: Place a ball against a wall and lean into it. “The key is to allow yourself to relax when using it and wait for the muscle to actually release,” she says. 

The 2½-inch balls are made of soft rubber that compresses to provide gentle pressure. This set comes with a handy pouch so you can easily travel with them.

$19 at Amazon

Amazon

If you struggle with lower back pain, “it can be helpful to modify sitting,” Wolf says. Using a balance ball chair makes it harder to slouch since you have to sit on your pelvis and keep an upright posture, he explains. 

This option from Gaiam has great reviews — people rave about its comfort and durability. The frame comes with a removable 52-centimeter exercise ball and is designed for people ranging from 5 feet to 5 feet 11 inches. It works with most standard desks, but leg extenders (sold separately) are available.

$70 at Amazon

Amazon

Sometimes the source of back pain can be as simple as poor posture. Wolf recommends investing in a posture-correcting shirt like this one from AlignMed. Made of Spandex and polyester, this zip-up shirt helps move your shoulder blades and back into the right position, taking extra stress off your spine. It also encourages you to activate the muscles needed for good posture. Refer to the on-page size chart to make sure you choose the right one. 

$100 at Amazon

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

A retired American couple has set off on their next adventure in life: traveling to and eating at every Texas Roadhouse location in the United States. 

Judy and Mike McNamara of Franklin, Virginia, have been married for 52 years. The pair fell in love with the popular American cuisine restaurant chain back in 2003 and have been fans since. 

Fox News Digital spoke with Mike McNamara a few days ago while he and his bride were in Northwest Indiana on one of their two road trips of the year.

AT THIS ‘DIRTY DANCING’ NOSTALGIC FESTIVAL, FANS CAN HAVE ‘THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE’

“Last night was [No.] 433, but there’s two more after the day here, and then we’ll go to Southern Ohio and that will be [No. 437],” he said.

The 71-year-old said that he and his wife take two road trips each year with a fifth-wheel camper. Their sole purpose is to visit as many new Texas Roadhouse locations as possible.

Judy and Mike McNamara have visited over 400 Texas Roadhouse locations in the last six years. They’re aiming to visit every single one.  (Mike McNamara)

“We go to some national parks, too, and museums, but the majority of it now is just going to visit Texas Roadhouse,” he said. 

WORLD TRAVELERS GAVE UP EVERYTHING TO SEE 92 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING: ‘WHY NOT?’

Mike McNamara said the couple had visited a few locations, but when Judy McNamara retired in 2017, he realized just how many they had been to over the years. 

“I looked up all [of] our credit card statements from the time she retired [back] to the first one — we’d been to 37,” he added. 

McNamaras and Texas Roadhouse employees

Mike McNamara told Fox News Digital that the reason he and his wife keep coming back is due to the family environment at each restaurant.  (Mike McNamara)

From there, Mike McNamara decided to make a spreadsheet and see just how many of the roughly 650 locations they could visit. 

“Since 2018, we’ve been going around the country visiting Texas Roadhouses,” he said.

While Judy McNamara tends to change her order between the chicken and shrimp, Mike McNamara said his favorite order is the six-ounce sirloin with a salad and a baked potato. 

He added, “But when you’re going to them sometimes 10, 15, 20 in a row, you don’t want that every day, so I will switch back and forth from the sirloin, pork chop and chicken fritters.”

When asked why Texas Roadhouse was the couple’s chain restaurant of choice, Mike McNamara said it has a lot to do with the food — and the people. 

“One, the food is good. That’s a pre-requisite for wanting to go to a restaurant,” he said.

KINDERGARTENER MISSES GRADUATION, GETS MID-FLIGHT CELEBRATION INSTEAD AS PASSENGERS CHEER

He continued, “The people are wonderful. Texas Roadhouse is a big, huge family [and] it’s unbelievable how many people we have met more than one time in our visits across this country.”

Mike McNamara said that he and his wife simply “fell in love with the cooking” and said it feels like “home cooking to us.”

The restaurant chain has roughly 650 locations across the United States.

The closest location to the McNamaras’ home is 45 minutes away — so they only go a few times a month when they’re not traveling in the camper. 

This year, the McNamaras are set to visit 80 new locations, which will bring their total to just over 500 out of the roughly 650 in total.

It’s well known for its breadbasket, which includes a cinnamon honey butter spread.

Eat eggs, spend time near water and more. 7 tips to help you have a healthy week.

0

Hello, health enthusiasts! My name is Kaitlin, and I’m here to provide you with some wellness tips to help you live your best life. The Fourth of July is this week, so enjoy the holiday by watching fireworks (keep these safety tips in mind and protect your kids and pets), trying a red, white and blue recipe or any of these other fun activities. Before making plans, take a peek at your local weather forecast (is it beach weather, or finally time to turn down the AC?) and, if you’re so inclined, your horoscope. Then look at the tips below to see what choices you can make in the coming days to better your body and mind.

🌊 Spend time near water

TikTok is all about the “Blue Mind Theory,” which says that you can use the meditative feeling you get while looking at a body of water as part of your manifestation practice. Research says that says spending time in so-called “blue spaces” can help you feel more calm and relaxed, so if you’re feeling stressed, it might be time to seek out the loveliest lake you can find. (Just make sure to practice water safety while you’re there!)

🇫🇷 Try living the French way

Have you ever dreamed of living in Paris? While you may not be able to jet off just yet, you can embrace the French way of life exactly where you are. These tips from Business Insider, which include enjoying fresh produce to actually disconnecting from work when you’re off, can help you live your best, healthiest life — without a literal view of the Eiffel Tower out your window.

💉 Consider underarm Botox … maybe

It’s summer. It’s hot. Sweating is inevitable — or is it? Self asked people who have gotten underarm Botox to curb sweating whether they’re a fan of the procedure, despite the expense (and needles!) that comes along with it.

Can you sit alone with your thoughts? If the idea seems boring at best and unsettling at worst, Yahoo contributor Dr. Samantha Boardman agrees — but points to research that says doing just that may actually come with big benefits. That includes fostering a greater sense of self. Meditation and other relaxation techniques, which involve sitting quietly without distraction, can also help you regulate your emotions and learn to let go of stress more easily in the rest of your life. So: put down the podcast, turn off the TV and just veg.

🍳 Eat eggs

For a long time, eggs got an unwarranted bad rap. Now, new research shows that eating eggs may actually ward off Alzheimer’s — provided you eat the yolk too. That’s because egg yolks are rich in choline, which supports neurotransmitters important for storing memories. Add some to avocado toast or grab a hard-boiled egg before the gym to get your brain boost.

🏋️ Try wrist weights — but be mindful

If you want to kick up the intensity of your walk, you may want to try wearing wrist weights, which can give you a cardiovascular boost. Experts warn that you shouldn’t go too heavy with these accessories, as anything over three pounds can significantly impact your gait, leading to improper technique that can hurt you in the long run. Also, don’t expect to tone up: you’ll still need to hit the gym to build muscle, as these weights are too light to make much of a difference.

👥 Go deep with friends

Sending a meme to your friends (an interaction also referred to as pebbling) is nice, but if you want meaningful connection, you should aim to build more significant connections, per a new study of university students. The researchers found that meaningful social interactions with peers, like deep conversations (particularly when they were face-to-face) were linked to less loneliness and stress.

👒 Pull weeds and plant seeds

Need a new hobby? Try gardening. There are oodles of mental health benefits, such as reducing stress — not to mention how spending time in the sun can improve your mood overall. (Just don’t forget to wear sunscreen … and maybe a big hat!) Plus, gardening is classified as low-to-moderate intensity exercise, which means your time in the soil can count toward your weekly workout goals. Pick up some heavy soil bags and you’re getting some resistance training in too!

Final Tee-Off At Marina Bay Golf Course: The Sunset That Promises A New Dawn

NTUC Club continues to make the sport accessible and affordable for all through partnerships and its estate-less golf club, My Golf Kaki, amid plans for a new, integrated golf development.

SINGAPORE, June 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — This Sunday on June 30, Marina Bay Golf Course (MBGC) – Singapore’s first and only 18-hole public golf course owned and managed by NTUC Club – will shutter as its land lease expires. Since its inception in 2006, MBGC has had an illustrious 18-year history, welcoming members of the public to experience its world-class facilities. It made its mark by earning numerous accolades including Best Public Golf Course in Asia Pacific and ranking among the Best Top 3 Best Golf Course in Singapore.

Fun fact: In the past 18 years, the well-loved MBGC has seen more than 1.3 million people on the greens and dispensed over 419 million driving range golf balls.

Despite the closure of MGBC, NTUC Club will continue to make the sport accessible and affordable through its estate-less golf club My Golf Kaki (MGK). This has been done by providing more slots to MGK members during weekdays as well as increasing the number of days night-golf is available at the Orchid Country Club (OCC). Together with the recent expansion of MGK’s portfolio of local and overseas courses including in Indonesia and Malaysia, MGK members can not only enjoy an easier planning and booking process, but have a wider variety of golf courses to choose from as well. 

Mr Lim Eng Lee, NTUC Club’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Despite the closure of MBGC, we hope to continue to make golf an affordable and accessible sport. In anticipation of MBGC’s closure, we have stepped up efforts since last year to promote the affordable MGK membership to golfers. We are encouraged by the response with the community growing from 7,000, to over 9,000 members in the last 12 months. I am pleased that NTUC Club has been working closely with the SGA in our shared vision that golf can be an inclusive sport to be enjoyed by all.”

Mr Tan Chong Huat, President of the Singapore Golf Association (SGA), remarked: “The closure of the hugely popular Marina Bay Golf Course will significantly impact Singapore’s golfing community without access to a private golf club. We acknowledge the impact of land scarcity on the entry barrier and accessibility to playing golf in Singapore. As the national custodian of the sport, SGA will continue to play its leadership role in developing a robust golf ecosystem that strives to promote and develop the game of golf for all Singaporeans from all walks of life.”

He added that SGA will uphold its commitment to making golf an inclusive sport that contributes to the physical and mental well-being of Singaporeans. It remains dedicated to this mission and looks forward to working with stakeholders, including NTUC Club, to achieve pragmatic and beneficial outcomes aligned with urban growth needs and the development of golf in Singapore.

Similarly, NTUC Club is deeply committed to grow Singapore’s golfing community, and has been in discussion with the authorities for potential sites that can be developed under the Labour Movement (LM). NTUC Club plans for future LM golf courses to be inclusive with a new, integrated golf concept – one that is enhanced by additional recreational spaces for family-friendly activities such as cycling tracks, nature trails, and common spaces for picnics and performances. Future LM golf courses will welcome not just golfers, but the public and people from all walks of life.
