Lemme guess, you invested in TSLA because you thought they'd have a fleet of "Robotaxis" by now? [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Absolutely. The language is the real test. EASKs AND flights/block hour metrics need to be in place.

no, I don’t think boom will produce an airplane in passenger service

Nope, cybertruck and powerwall but I sold at the post covid pop. They were supposed to be bringing high capacity battery power to the masses but I'm still waiting.

But if they do...? I never thought Canadair would build an airliner or then a major/mainline sized one but...

If there's a market for it, somebody will build it, and then bring it to scale or sell to someone who can.

Maybe not but our agreement should cover all the contingencies. It's burned us in the past.

My real point was all NBs BTW.

Getting exactly the same vibe from "Boom" that I had when the "micro-jet" Eclipse was going to put every business traveler in a tiny jet flying point to point. They built hangars, training facilities, hired thousands, the whole enchilada. Then they went bust.

It's a neat idea. So is SpaceX using the reusable rocket for point to point global travel anywhere in under 30 minutes. Technically feasible, but how many bazillionares really need to save a couple of hours are there anyway?

From an "American ingenuity can do great things" standpoint, I freaking love this. But there's a better than even chance there's going to be a whole lot of cheap hangar space available in GSO in a few years.

(thanks for posting the link. I really did enjoy it, no sarcasm.)

OK, the boom post was the "pic for attention" my real point is: International and WB are not synonymous and the agreement needs to recognize that.

But Trip7 says this new arrangement (which isn’t even complete yet) is the end all to be all. The Co. Finally sees things our way and gave into what the pilots wanted after 3 decades. Just like that. No downside….magic…
