Boeing doesn’t have the cash or credit to do this anymore.

Basically on death watch. Actual cash in bank is like $15B, burning it like crazy, and facing massive drop in demand.

USGov will be only savior now. If not direct cash, then by issuing giant PO for more aircraft, missiles and other fun stuff.

Lets see how long it takes for China’s Comac state aircraft company to make an offer. They are a key part of China’s industrial plan to replace the US as the dominant supplier of commercial airliners. With the assistance of our FAA in dragging out Boeing’s return of the 737 Max they are amazing making progress everyday.

Someday we will all be flying on Chinese aircraft if the US doesn’t wake up soon.

Because the check didn’t bounce, Boing has had no problem transferring all that jet building technology to the Chicoms. With assistance from “The Inside The Loop” crowd.

Embraer aircraft are more prone to Icing than many other aircraft. Not the brand you want to fly in the Winter.

Neighbor here at my air park is a North American big shot for Embraer. He’s been putting in dirt for a hanger next to his home. Guess that is gonna be put on hold.
