Actually, there are piles of cash: The money Boeing used for their shares buy back actions, just reintroduce these shares. It'll dilute on the currently outstanding shares, though alas, there aren't many options, if Boeing wants to survive in the commercial airplane industry (I am not sure about that, though, everything shows, Boeing just wants to cash in on the current sales/production, without new developments).
