He's in a tough spot. He needs to have good labor relations, and his prior history shows that it's in his wheelhouse to do so.
But losses are spiralling, not sure at what point that could have a long-term impact on the future direction of the company. Boeing of all companies can probably access credit based on future prospects, due to the demand for their product and the near complete lack of plausible alternatives (airbus can't make planes fast enough to unilaterally cover global demand).
On top of that, the previous leadership cashed out the future of the company by outsourcing and cutting union contracts to the bone, and into the bone. He's going to have to fix that, so he's already coming from behind.

I think the fact that Boeing management sent an offer directly to the media--as well as to all employee work emails--and not to the union was a bad move. The CEO wanted to negotiate in the court of public opinion and ignore the union completely.
They're at a stalemate. They met for mediation for the third time on Friday and Boeing management didn't want to talk. There are no more talks scheduled at this time.
