Or, a more reasonable way to look at it is that Boeing is offering 737’s at 2/3’s of sticker price for the right order (read going all Boeing). Manufacturers offer deep discounts on planes all the time.

2/3’s deep? I don’t know. But Boeing might be willing to make that kind of deal on the first 50-100 options in order to secure a total order of 3-400 planes over the next decade plus.

Didn't Boeing recently sell UAL 737's at roughly $20 million a copy? You can't get a decent biz jet for that amount.

I have no idea, but a Lear 75 sells at about $14M a copy.

According to upper management, this was the case. Kinda hard to believe.

Duck anti-union Boeing and their antique POS 73. We're not paid enough to fly that cramped hot hunk of shot around.

Have a backup and hope it’s the backup foot that wears out first?

Some are more akin to tripods and that third kick will help with road rash.

Allegedly

I totally agree with you but I would personally welcome any new AC order as long as it's a mainline airplane. also I imagine if you're a CA on the bus now you wouldn't have to fly the thing anyways. All that said, all this speculation without any proof is just internet noise in the first place.
