Negotiating Higher Salary at Boeing with other offer?

I recently got an offer from another aerospace company at about 30% more than my base salary, and a significant equity amount.
I think I want to stay at Boeing, but I believe I should be paid more as a high achiever / someone with a bright future at the company. I’ve fallen in the comp-ratio spectrum after they were adjusted and I was going to consider this as an argument.
Has anyone ever negotiated a higher salary at Boeing using an external offer? Any recommendations?
Thanks!

If you even mention the offer then Boeing will try to snub you. They’ll see it as a sign of you looking to leave and are likely to make the first move by firing you.
It’s always ill advised to use an offer to negotiate with your current company as it erodes the trust between the employer and employee
If you are a high performer they will counter at around 10% over the mid point for your salary range. Like other companies they are seeing a ton of people leave. If not, they won’t bother, so it might be worthwhile to see where you stand in their eyes?
No way Boeing can touch a 30% salary bump like that…maybe if you were stupidly underpaid in Mesa or St. Louis.
