Union scum at Boeing getting pawned by their hero Obama. Maybe I am liking Obama more because he exported UAW jobs and now he is exporting union aviation workers.

Are they even aware of it. They only think what their union leadership tells them to think. And I suspect their leadership will keep this quiet.

lol

This will create tons of aviation constuction jobs... IN CHINA !!!

ARGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

WHAT THE THE HELL IS THIS IDIOT DOING RUNNING OUR COUNTRY.

The previous democRat president made sure they could drop a nuke anywhere on the planet,

and this one makes sure that they can build a heavy bomber.

“Just to be fair”, I’m sure.

Comac announced that its first overseas order had come from General Electric Co. GE, which is supplying the engines, agreed to buy five of the regional jets with an option for 20 more, in a deal that could amount to $750 million.

GE...what an honorable company. /s

Commercial Airliners are just one of the many things it’s now too expensive to make in America, thanks to decades of Democrat Job-killing legislation.

Even Cessna’s small Skycathcher C-162 is being built in China because of costs, and it’s $12,000 over the target price of $99,000.

Northwest (through their regional partners) have been flying Canadair CRJ-200s for several years now and they’re nice little jets with surprising range.

I am stunned at how stupid the rank & file union goons are. He destroyed GM and Chrsyler and now Boeing is next. I have a Repub friend who worked for a major defense contractor HQ in CT. The factory was union and were Democrat goons. My friend kep a low profile especially about politics. They found out he was not a Dem and they froze him out and made sure he was fired at the 90 day probabtion.

Union scum deserve all the karma they created because they helped give us Hussein.

[MSF BU]

Well ain’t that some s*^t? This should go over REAL well in Kansas and Washington state. What a goat rope.

[Frantzie]

I like Canadair’s. I hate Embraiers. They have one seat on one side and two on the other. I was getting claustrophobic as hell on one. We were boarding and some clown said “wow this thing is like a coffin.” I always check before I book. Canadiar’s are good. Took a night flight on one from Ohio to West Palm non-stop. It was fine.

I digress a little bit from this thread for a moment.

I can’t believe that there is only one of those things flying. Did the USSR/Russia run out of cash to build any more of those monsters?

I now return to the regularly scheduled thread. Thank you.

[myknowledge]

The Soviets did run out of rubles to build more of these An-225s. Nowadays, Antonov is owned by Ukraine.

[rahbert]

China’s own safety regulators ....

Oh? How tea money does it take to buy their approval?

[lowbridge]

and U.S. restrictions on the purchase of certain technologies.

I thought Bill Clinton already gave away the store to them.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama is creating jobs alright!....In China!

[fallujah-nuker]

President Buchanan was pretty bad. He was President Lincoln predecessor.

He and William Rufus DeVane King were an item, just like Obama and Larry Sinclair.
