I think one of Boeing's main strategies to get the FAA to back off would be for their lobbiests to point at a few billion worth of Max 10's sitting on the ground with the exact same tech and safety features (bugs) as 8's and 9's flying all over the world, and hopefully this puts a stop to that. And hey if it means Boeing comes crawling back with an even better offer sheet all the better.
Embarrass them? How can we embarrass them more than they’ve done for themselves?!? Quite literally every single Boeing product is a **** show. Just got an article this morning that the T-7 is going to be delayed yet another year. Who needs 10 years to design and build a trainer using a 50 year old engine? Probably the same people that completely F’d up a 60+ year old airplane.
We’ve had their balls in a vice since the first 787 delay! There’s only so many free, non existent airplanes you can wait for before you need to just cut ties and harvest the losses. This is YEARS behind, unless you Boeing loyalists like getting cucked. Is that it?
