China already makes the COMAC C919 which is Boeing's 737Max....  at 25-30%  cheaper

And the latter drops out of the sky for that price.

The wonders of DEI. Not sure why you are blaming me for Boeing refusing to hire competent skilled workers and then act thunderstruck when their speedbirds start falling from the skies. I could have told you that would happen.

The only way that America can compete with China is to lower US wages to 25% of what they are today. That way they can bring back the iPhone and other items that they make abroad today.

How many people worked at Boeing?well if trump kills that company that will be a bit of a kerkuffel ehh?oh I’m a thinking the big companies have about had their fill of one Donald John trump.

 

The return of an aircraft or even a few hundred  is not going to bankrupt Boeing. The company reports Boeing's a production backlog of 4,759  737 MAXs.  It is not as if Airbus will replace Boeing in China either. The writing has been on the wall for at least a decade that China wanted to replace foreign sourced aircraft with its own.  Aerospace is a very profitable sector and China  like any other country, wants to keep its money in house. Any country should try to do that. That's what the USA is trying to do too.

Not brand new anymore. How complete are these aircraft? Do they have fitted out cabins, Contrary to the photo, the 3 planes that have come back were built for Xiamen Airways. From what I can gather, Zhoushan completes the livery and interiors. I assume most of the cabin wiring is done in the US, and in China they are bolting in seats, laying carpet, hooking up entertainment systems, all in Chinese.

 

These were built with business and economy class cabins, so zero interest from Ryan Air unless a big discount, as they will likely need complete rework. Ryaqn Air, and other similar airlines don't do business class.

 

 

The aircraft  are delivered to China with bare interiors.  This actually can make it easier to  deliver to another customer (with maybe a small discount). They will easily be snapped up by the other carriers waiting for deliveries.

Seems Boeing is going to be just fine. Stock is surging after earnings and they hope to get approvals for 42 737 a month which they do 38 a month now.  These threads are always fun.

I said nothing like that. Just pointed out Boeing isn't in any danger of being hurt from this Mr. Biden.

Well I am putting my money where my mouth is. I picked up some BA today @ $173 a share. I am sure my fellow forum members will wish my the best of luck on this. After that report and what they said they could sell crap in a bag and they have the orders for a decade.

Different system. The UK didn't get rid of Truss, the 1922 Committee did. In the British system, the Prime Minister is the First Among Equals. Head of a cabinet with the power to hire and fire ministers. But also a MP like the reast of them. Traditionally, the Party Leader is chosen by the Parliamentary Party; in recent years, this has been expended to include the membership (eg. me), with I think unexpected consequences (I think the membership should shortlist the candidates, with a run off based on Westminster secret ballot). A PM could ignore a 22 vote, but then that would mean they wouldn't command the confidence of the Conservative parliamentary party, and in theory would depend on the opposition  for support. A PM can step down, but still be leader of the Conservative Party (which does happen).

 

Parliamentarians, who include members of the cabinet, are all accountable first and foremost to their constituents. The Whip can dilute that; promoting national or party interests over and above local issues. But there is still very much a local connection.

 

The 47th President has recently let slip that the benefits of his policy will be felt in 10 years, and people have only got to stick to the line. Pity he didn't say that while electioneering. This is like when Rees-Mogg said, after Brexit, that the true benefits would be felt in 50 years, and that would have been obviously anyone supporting it (he is a Brexit champion). If both politicians had been more honest and treating the electrate like adults, there might have been a different outcome.

Well done, investor of the year!!

British Airways?
British Aerospace?

Probably both decent calls, I'm glad you didn't stick your money in Boeing, phew! But as investor of the year you would know better - you are so clever and wise. I only wish I had your investor knowledge and skill and could boast about it on an anonymous forum.

At least i do it in real time. Unlike many others that try and claim success in hindsight. If there is an investor section of this forum i would gladly make a competition with you and see who does better using only real time trading. I sort of do this everyday. I only mention when i do something so some idiot doesn't comae later and say I only said it after the fact. That's how it works on the internet. If you didn't say it it never happened.
