[QUOTE=notEnuf;2437097]I'd read the contract and ask an 88 pilot how the cancelled training is a great deal, first. This just throws more uncertainty into the AE bids/awards. All because Boeing cancelled the wrong airplane 757 instead of the 737. Taller with a real option to hang bigger engines and lengthen the fuselage. Never mind, we just invented the Extendo-gear and limited our engine choices. That's cutting edge technology! (on a 50s design )[/QUOTE

U kno i wz jst kidding about seattle skunk works rolling out the B-88NG with gtf engines....but maybe not?

Not only that, but anyone else find it ironic that Boeing is calling it Canadian government subsides for c series, yet doesn't mind using the ex im bank to their advantage and taking subsides from government owned national airlines? Ie the ones unfairly competing against us... Funny how that works...

Glad he mentioned the hypocrisy of Boeing with the gulf carriers.

I'm happy. I'm glad we are seeing this, I want to see this in all industries in this country. If some foreign country dumps their ****ty product in our market at predatory pricing I want them to be punished.

So yes welcome to Trumps American the American that it should be.

2016 issues aside, no one, and I mean not one single person, voted either way because of the C Series, nor will anyone in any other election. If anything, BA benefitted mightily from the previous admin at the direct expense of not only unionized labor but also the nation's airline industry in the aggregate.

Either way DL will get the lift it needs.
How horrible, trump is protecting american jobs and industry.

Oh, I must have missed the info you clearly have. This edict was from Trump, not from a judge. Where have I been? I am a victim of FAKE NEWS!

Close to 50% of the CSeries is made in the US by Americans. It is assembled in Montreal but a lot of the parts are made in the US.

I must've missed the part where not innovating or not even offering a product at all and then using the government to drum out a superior product is Capitalism. I thought government was a bad thing to Republicans and conservatives.

Between defense contracts and US subsidies from the EXIM bank, Boeing might as well be nationalized.
