Does Airbus have the cash to buy them out of bankruptcy court?Any sane cartel office in the US or Europe must be obliged to prevent that. The duopoly without Boeing becomes a monopoly. I am convinced that no airline on earth ever want to experience such a "market". I doubt the Chinese or the Russians can change this situation within the next two decades. Comac in the beginning seems to aim at the Chinese domestic market. Their C919 is too small to compete with Boeing or Airbus in the medium ranges (e.g. transcontinental/transatlantic) (737 Max 9/10, A321neo XL, XLR). Russia's Irkut MC-21 is nowhere to be seen and with Putin's warmongering, I doubt that will ever change. |

Read into this whatever scenarios...? Email from Boeing to Ethiopian Airlines Sheds Light on a Tragic Crash My personal uneducated reading of that is that Boeing refused to give any meaningful or useful answers that could well have avoided the second planefull of Boeing 737 MCAS murders... Fly safe with that? Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Boeing lays off another 400 WA workers in second round of cuts That’s in addition to the 2,199 layoff notices Boeing delivered to Washington workers last month, bringing the total number of job cuts in the state to nearly 2,600.While Boeing lays off thousands of its employees, airlines worldwide urgently wait for an increased production of Boeing 737 Max as the market demands thousands of new single aisle aircraft. Airbus can't increase production as well and has a backlog in orders of at least five years. |

Hire and fire... And then rehire but ooops... Where goes the essential special knowledge for doing the job safely, and to a good standard??... Note how the Bosses have no clue of what the real world job is... Perhaps a safety requirement is that they spend a week truly doing the job directly themselves... Ofcourse, supervised by those they are about to fire... All in a deadly greedy 'game' of profitably gambling the lives of others?...

Note how the Bosses have no clue of what the real world job is...They know. But this company is literally bleeding money. There is no alternative at the moment. Saving Boeing is the hardest job and biggest opportunity in business With jet production now constrained by regulators and Boeing bleeding more than $4 billion in cash every three months [...] |
