You really proved you haven’t a clue how aviation works at all. That post was full of your assumptions and silly factoids but no facts of how aviation works. Without Boeing, planes are grounded. You spouted some crap you found on the Internet but you have no clue what Global Services is, means, or does. You have no idea that without their systems that support aviation the airlines are grounded. All 700 worldwide airlines rely on Boeing systems every day to keep in the air.

What a retard. In the days of information at our fingertips we have no knowledge or wisdom. Your post demonstrates that.

“All 700 worldwide airlines rely on Boeing systems every day to keep in the air.”

Try putting it in prospective. In past years entire sections of Boeing have gone out on strike for extended times.

1977: Machinists stage a 44-day work stoppage over pension and benefits for retired members.
1989: Concerned about overtime issues, Machinists strike for 48 days.
1995: Machinists strike for 69 days over pension and job security.
2005: Machinists go on strike for 28 days.
2008: Machinists strike for 57 days over job security, health care and retired member benefits.

And there are other unit strikes than these.

But to my knowledge, and that of the airlines, they are still flying whether Boeing is a phone call away or not, which they would be. We are not talking about someone from Boeing going to the sight of every problem with an aircraft until it is justified like one hitting the ground. Then the NTSB requires it along with contractual considerations.

“What a retard. In the days of information at our fingertips we have no knowledge or wisdom. Your post demonstrates that.”

Two things here:

first this “retard” makes a lot of money from the stock I own.

Second: Does that mean I can call you a retard because you have no idea other than what you read on the internet as to what actually happens concerning Boeing’s commitments?

Unless you are authorized to get into their legal contractual commitments, you are just guessing and trying to prove no point at all because you don’t know what they are or what their contingency plans are? To help you out a little, Boeing has representation in almost 70 countries around the world. They are positioned to provide aftermarket support for mixed fleets worldwide. Boeing Global Services, one of their divisions especially for this, delivers service solutions for commercial, defense and space customers, regardless of the equipment’s original manufacturer with engineering, digital analytics, supply chain and training support spanning across both the government and commercial service offerings. So they don’t have a mechanic at every site. They’ll tell them what will fix it, but on very few circumstances are Boeing mechanics turning the wrenches. So they don’t have a person at every location, just within reach of a telephone and fax.

And like I’ve told people in the past, it is worthless to try to carry on a conversation with a person that has no knowledge to cover their end of the topic other than what they are told and name calling. So long
