    It might also have something to do with the fact that the flight control software doesn't cause the plane to crash......................

    The dummy Boeing hired as its CEO is wrecking the company. Don't be surprised if it stops making commercial airplanes.

    It was always very fashionable among the enlightened Democrats to dump on USA.

    They are replacing an old fleet. They are using a version of aircraft that Boeing isn’t marketing at the moment.

    I know a guy who is getting 2 A/C’s from Boeing. And the contract is worth more than those 50 United is buying.

    The dummy came in and dumped on the American workers that had made the company a success. He owns the failure.

    No, that contract is worth zero. Two aircrafts paid by tax payers that will never fly in any profit. Never earn a cent. Its like crapping on the table, form a cake from it and eat it and say its bigger than the cookies.

    Whereas Rubepublicans just dump on non Rubepublicans out of plain spite. Trumpeters do the same.

    Boeing is fine. It’s an American company meaning, it’s resilient. It’ll rebound and as always, be very successful.

    The European manufacturer can only survive with massive government subsidies. Boeing relies on itself.

    No, Boeing is Nr. 2 globally and now even loses its home market.

    Wrong. Boeing survives with massive government subsidies. WHO ruled that as well.

    Boeing only exists because government contracts hold it afloat. WTO ruled over that already.

    A WTO arbitration panel is expected to rule sometime early next year on what retaliatory tariffs the European Union may impose on U.S. exports in response to the preferential B & O tax rates.

    Boeing has massive back orders for the 737 Max. Do not worry about Boeing.
