Isn’t zero CEO at Boeing?
The Governour of SC may have the unfortunate habit of taking extra-long hikes in the Appalachians, but he does seem to be able to bring in the business.
“Isn’t zero CEO at Boeing?”
No. The “Sky Czar” handles that.
Supposedly Airbus MAY be forced to ground all of their long range airliners. Boeing could stick to 777, 767, the stretch 737-800 and be fine. They work and they are safe.

I wonder how that would affect the USAF tanker contract? I thought one option was based on the A330.
After the past few weeks, "was" may be the operative word.
Sky Czar... I remember that old show.. sponsor by Oreo cookies right?
