    I can’t believe how many of these Boeing guys are suffering from self-inflected acute lead poisoning of the occipital bone. They’ve got a real problem on their hands.

    Is it fair to say Boeing is way too important to the us military for anything meaningful to happen?

      I feel like that’s more Lockheed Martin but Boeing is up there for sure.

        Boeing makes b52 bomber, apache helicopter, f15 fighter, and f18 naval fighter. Lots of stuff that amerikkka loves

          Boeing only makes that stuff because they’ve bought out the companies that have designed it where as Lockheed Martin actually designs aircraft for military use. In the end it looks like Boeing civilian obligations are what is going to take it down and not their military obligations, which is why I said Lockheed is more important.

      Boeing is both. And it needs commercial aviation for profit and camouflage for the other side.

      I remember reading about how an aerospace Company who installed some navigational tech inside Air Force 1 also sold the same tech to the Russians lol. Supposedly they got fined but are still doing business with the US government in security. Don’t remember which company though

      Boeing hasn’t been Boeing since it merged with McDonnell Douglas about 27 years ago.

          For commercial aviation, literally just Boeing. And then Europe has Airbus. The aviation industry really is a fantastic example of how capitalism works.

            Remember how they used to get full course meals in flights? Now we’re packed like sardines and we get a bag of peanuts and a coke.

              I’m not old enough to remember that. Weren’t tickets much more expensive back then though? I was under impression that both prices and standards fell. Regardless, that’s an airline carrier issue that has little to do with Boeing.

                This is more of a feels comment lol, I just looked into it and yeah tickets used to be about 10x as expensive

                  So you can still get a really good experience now but yeah it’s going to be 10x more expensive as well lol
