I'll bite at the sarcastic comment...

For one that would be difficult since every major US operator with the exception of Delta and Southwest uses Airbus equipment (and Delta at one time did fly some).

Secondly, while one could limit yourself to flights using only Boeing equipment, rather than airlines (since, as above, that's not possible) a Boeing employee has no control over what equipment is used on what flight, and even the airline can't predict with 100% accuracy what equipment it will be.

Lastly, and most importantly, your attempted line of logic is flawed. That particular Ford plant offers an incentive if you drive a Ford. It doesn't claim that you have to drive a Ford in order to work for Ford, just that you'll get better parking if you choose to do so. If Boeing was giving out free airline tickets to its' employees, then it would have every right to dictate that those free tickets were only valid on flights using Boeing equipment.
