Not yet... But Airbus is pushing them over the cliff like never before

Boeing has it's issue with one model. It will work out the bugs.

Put your shovel away Goran, Boeing will survive. Buy stocks in this company now and you'll see a good return on your investment.

Actually they have with 2, the other one being 787 Dreamliner but that one is not as serious as with 737.

For now I dont know how smart it is to invest in Boeing because we can hardly predict how will the passengers act if the plane gets green light to fly again and the price is not that low

What is the issue with the Dreamliner, it's a modern plane like an Airbus?

As you said you don't know... it could be a great time to invest given the hit it's taken already based on this news. If you think the US gov't is going to let Boeing go bust, I have serious doubts.

The real question is how far can it drop and will it get to 0. Remember General Motors, they were the biggest car producer before the last crisis. It didn't disappear from the market, but its far from the previous company.

Yes but General Motors has several domestic competitors, and it was also saved by USGovt/Fed.

I'd expect bailouts if it came to that (and I doubt it will even get that bad in the next 5 years) particularly under this president for a large company who's competitors are overseas.

[2dimes]

GM has it worse than Boing. There are lots of automobile manufacturers. There is basically only one competitor to Boing, there would be two but ours gave away the new plane instead of trying to make them here.

FAA found another potential issue that needs to be fixed. How many are there?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has identified a new potential risk that Boeing Co must address on its 737 MAX before the grounded jet can return to service, the agency told Reuters on Wednesday.

The risk was discovered during a simulator test last week, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The new issue means Boeing will not conduct a certification test flight until July 8 at the earliest, the sources said, and the FAA will spend at least two to three weeks reviewing the results before deciding whether to return the plane to service.

US aviation officials say they found a new potential risk with the Boeing 737 Max plane that could delay its return to service

Years before two Boeing 737 Max jets crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia, U.S. regulators found a pattern of recurring safety problems with the manufacturing giant.

During a trip to Japan in 2015, an auditor with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered a Boeing subcontractor was falsifying certifications on cargo doors for hundreds of 777s and had been doing so for years, according to interviews and government documents.

Back in the United States, Boeing mechanics were leaving tools inside plane wings, precariously close to the cables that control their movements. Workers also were improperly installing wires in 787s, which could increase the risk of shorts or fires, FAA officials found.

Repeatedly, safety lapses were identified, and Boeing would agree to fix them, then fail to do so, the FAA said. The agency launched or was considering more than a dozen legal enforcement cases against the company for failing to comply with safety regulations, a review of FAA records shows, with fines that could have totaled tens of millions of dollars.

If all would know about the way aircraft maintenance is going those days then no one will fly anymore unless you like taking risk
I’ve been working with airplanes since 25 years and safety was naturally enforced by the workers before, today, and despite heavier regulation and standards, maintenance is taking less seriously.

Losing tools inside airplane (fuel tank, underfloor where flight control cable it) is unfortunately not new, Airbus is not being in the news about tools lost by flight control cables because they use fly-by-wire since more than 2 decades and thus no cables anymore to control the airplane

Boeing waited way too long to insert newest technology and rushed testing to be as close as possible of its competitor Airbus, now they are facing the reality and it’s unfortunate is at the price of people’s life. They are lucky to be the biggest manufacturer of the country and the country icon of aviation, smaller shop would have been 100% shut down by the FAA for less than what has been found with the 737 MAX (and what is unveiled in the news is far from being the worth).

Seems like Boeing has new markings for its infamous model. Will this cheap trick go unnoticed by the public and the airlines?

I'm curious who here hates Boeing, the United States or both?

I personally love them both. I find it interesting that they altered one of the all time great aircraft to compete with Airbus, it didn't work out quite right and now you guys pretend they are the bad guys.

[waauw]

[2dimes]

Good video waaw.

It explains the mistakes pretty well.

The one that crashed with the faulty AOA sensor may have turned out better if the computer was attatched to the second unit which I believe the report said was functioning correctly.

No need to hate Boeing or United States... They are well capable of destroying themselves without outside interference

Trump is probably writing a statement putting sanctions on all other major aircraft companies in the world due to 'issues of national security' as we speak!

[jimboston]

We, as a country, should take action to protect vital American industries.
Aircraft manufacturing is definitely an industry that is of vital importance and should be protected.

I’m not going to get into specifics, and i’m not saying we should be blind or dumb about how ‘we’ do this....

... but as a general principal it’s something we should take action to support.

[mrswdk]

If Trump wants to save American plane companies he should encourage them to build planes that actually fly.

Or if he only cares about looking tough for another 6 months to get re-elected, riding out his four year fixed term, then running off somewhere to rake in big speaking fees and put his feet up while America collapses on someone else's watch, he can just keep on throwing tariffs at everything with a pulse.

FWIW I think Trump's tariffs and America First policy are awesome. The implosion that was originally going to take America 50-60 years is now only going to take about 10-20. Thank you Trump

[jimboston]

Well that’s a whole bunch of BS I never stated or implied.

If you think i’m a Trump fan you might wanna look at some other threads.

I just stated a general principle that I support. Please don’t expand on my thoughts for me. Thanks.

[mrswdk]

I said 'Trump is probably preparing sanctions against foreign aircraft companies' and you immediately followed that with 'I think we should take action to protect American industries'.

Apparently that wasn't a response to me, just your Tourette's playing up again.
