Qatar is okay with waiting 10 years or more for that order, I guess. Boeing is so far behind on its current backlog of orders that it will be up to a decade before it builds them.

I'm sure he'd like to see a once-proud American company recover from the mess they're in.

It’s an American company that needs to be resurrected and brought back to the days of it’s glory.

There is only one alternative source and it is subsidized by the EU.
He can't really push that deal, though it would be good for the Gulf Coast.

They'll never recover unless you allow them to sink or swim. This deal is giving them arm floaties.

no choice with this, but the FA-47 had its competitors, I honestly thought that one would go to Lockheed

Where else can they go? Airbus? They’re behind too. China? They're not stupid.

So giving work to American workers is a bad thing? Trillions of investment in the US is bad?

So AOC running off Amazon in her district was good?

Joe Biden did great not bringing jobs to Americans. The only jobs he made were paid for by government. With our tax money.

These jobs aren’t costing us a cent.

Boeing was being run by former McDonald Douglass management after Boeing bought MD. The running joke was that MD bought Boeing with Boeing's money.

Boeing's new CEO is an engineer, not a Wall Streeter, accountant, lawyer or DEI manager.

Made bank on Boeing this month buying calls when it twice dipped into the 140's and 150's.

Those Chinese planes that they refused to accept were almost immediately sold to India.

Yeah, Airbus is backlogged too.
