As the last, absolute last, bastion of aircraft development, I hope and pray that Boeing survives. Domestic industry does count. When we had Lockheed, Boeing, Micky D, etc, not quite so important. If we, as a nation, lose Boeing, we're toast. Like the product or not. It's like buying Ford or Chevy over Toyota or Honda. Gotta support it or we become Sweden.

Boeing needs to price it's product to the competition. They have an arrogance about them that is inexcusable. Besides, the aircraft division is only a part of their business. They have many others that are very profitable. If support of their aircraft division is at taxpayer expense and American airlines expense, and directly benefits of foreign states and corporations, I say to hell with 'em, and I am a Boeing guy (hopefully) until I walk out the door.
Uh, no. Boeings got issues. So let's turn it all over to the French? Uhh, hell no!

Two episodes that gave me the creeps:
The one where the psycho guy walks down the hallway and the lights go out because of his psychic darkness.
The one where they find some lady's missing husband on a planet, but he turns into a skeleton when they leave in an Eagle. She looks down and she's holding a skeleton hand. Scary.

I have flown with enough ex "Boeing or I am not going" types to tell you, once you go bus you never go back. Well until bigger pays better.

T I hear this statement all the time but it is from guys that have never flown an Airbus product. After flying both I love Boeing but they could learn a lot from Airbus.

T it's ok I will save a seat for you on the dark side. After flying the baby bus I can't imagine shoehorning my self into a 737 cockpit.

Plus, Boeing's one of the last bastions of american manufacturing (okay, outsourcing notwithstanding). And it's a damn fine product, too.
