Throwing protocol to the wind, Obama will be smoking publically before Trump’s inauguration.

I believe the cost is not in regards to the plane but to all the security essential stuff built-in and that the plane won’t be ready until 2023.

Imagine that, the Boeing chief, admitting, that they were gouging the taxpayers, by keeping costs high.

EVeryone knows most government contractors gouge the government because they can. Trump has already set the tone....no more.

Major Garrett misreported and lied that Trump cancelled the order because the Boeing chief disagreed with Trump on a policy.

I am soo sick of Major Garrett editorializing his reports with anti-Trump lies.

Good strategy for him. If he is this aware and concerned over only a few billion dollars, they know he will be very attentive to the big numbers.

I wonder will Boeing—instead of building two new VC-25A replacements based on the 747-8I—will just end up rebuilding the two VC-25A’s with winglets, new GE GENx engines, and upgraded electronics instead.

Here’s a hint to the Boeing CEO......convince the Trump team & USA Airforce to purchase two B787-9 aircraft, to be uded as Airforce One aircraft.. The B747 is now, an aged, inefficient aircraft. The B787 is the latest and greatest and is far superior to any B747. The B747 was fantastic in its day, but its best days have passed!!!

The B787 is large enough to cover any POTUS travel need that arises, it can be made into a very long distance aircraft, and would be much cheaper to operate on short runs. In fact Boeing should sell a couple of B737MAX aircraft to the airforce to use for POTUS “domestic” short halls. Obama & his family have screwed the American taxpayers royally, by misusing the B747 on flights it was never intended to operate on!!! But...Obama, could care less about the American taxpayer...he only cares about himself, and taking care of the illegal, criminal, druggie, immigrants that drug & kill our innocent citizens!!!

I think we are going to see a lot of trump calling out those who have been gouging the country. the media saying how awful he is for doing it and then the media eating crow when dats later what ever country thought they could get away with gouging prices decides that they still want to make money so they come back with a better price on the item...

I look at theses two planes 2 billion a piece for a total of 4 billion dollars and I just have no way of knowing what the actual cost should be and I think 99.99 percent of the population would not have a clue what the cost of the plane should be...but like most I no the contractor Boeing is shafting the American people at that price.

Probably boeing begging Trump to go easy on them when they pack up and move over their operations over to china.

Trump should make in no uncertain terms that the cost of doing business out of communist china will be far higher than staying in the US.

IIRC, this year Boeing inked a deal to sell jetliners to iran. Don't a whole lot about it, or even if it was approved; but if it was, maybe President Trump should re-visit such an apparently major error of oversight as well.
