I actually read it exactly the opposite. US carriers are being more prudent which, in today's global economy, I applaud. I could be wrong.

 

I think it's VERY good. Why would we want to be riddled with the disaster that the 787-800 is? Let them work the kinks, fires, & loose ends out. Then we get them.

 

Hey Timbo,

Indycar and F1 bubbas redo carbon tubs/wings/bits pretty frequently.....no TSO required, but the ability is there. I'm no stress engineer, but being able to determine inner carbon condition without destructive testing is the nettlesome problem......we found that out over at Purple after the American A300 accident where the carbon tail departed...

I see that as well, but when I go by the plant often and an awful lot of 777's are rolling off the line as well, those capitalists from UAE must be getting a good finance deal.....

 

I recall someone on here having federal (district court) jury duty. Specifically the kind where you are on call for a period of two weeks. Whoever it was, could you PM me? I have some question.

 

Well that's true. We need some 777s for sure.

 

Yes, but they are very expensive, not many deals to be had I hear. Airbus newest product is the A350, which is selling fine, but not available for a while. I bet Airbus is giving great deals on the 330 - and you know who loves out of date products at discount products?

You may want to research this just a bit more before posting. What Boeing actually said was 10 a month total between both Everett and SC. SC was supposed to be up to 3 per month by end of year 2013 and will not reach that until Q1 2014. Everett is supposed to be at 7 a month for a total of 10. But don't let facts get in the way of some good Boeing non-union work force bashing.
