But it wasn't enough to save the company.

What gives you the idea that Boeing is dead?

Airbus will NEVER get a U.S. government contract, and defense just got a big increase in spending.

As Cicero said, this is cyclical.

Maybe you're right. Maybe socialism will save the company.

I'll echo that.

In addition, take it from one who knows (along with a fair number of other FReepers here who have had the privilege of piloting Boeing aircraft): No one..........NO one............builds a "heavy" like Boeing. Period. End of story.

The folks on this thread decrying the "death of Boeing" haven't the slightest clue what they're talking about.
