They do actually. A defunct company I used to turn wrenches for used “Tampax Super” tampons as the filter element for the bleed air in the window purge. They kept a box of the $$$ PMA version (exact same) in the parts department of course, but the ones that actually went in the plane? I’m pretty sure those came from Walmart.

Here's why Boeing airplanes now suck and will continue to suck: .Gov pays more for bombs and missiles and satellites than the airlines pay for jets. All that matters to corporate America is the stock price, and they know where their bread is buttered.
Boeing needs to exit the commercial aircraft business. Let the 787, 777X, and 737-MAX be the last.

How’s that Boeing starliner doing?
Boeing is a complete dumpster fire across all divisions, commercial, air and space. Without commercial their defense would be almost non existent. What platforms are the E-7/P-8/KC-46 built on again?

New plan
Looks like the new plan is to switch existing MAX 10 orders to MAX 9s, then switch those orders back to MAX 10 orders once it receives certification.
Interestingly, SK said that that he's "in the market for A321s, and if we get a deal where the economics work, we'll do something. If we don't, we won't and will wind up with more Max 9s." (emphasis added)

Boeing is actually underwater on quite a few of its .gov contracts. They are losing money in that sector due to fixed-firm contracts and cost overruns. Boeing struggles to steer defense unit in another year of losses Reuters
Don't let the facts get in the way of your theories, though.

Oh, and John Barnett didn't kill himself.

So glad you got so much new material given that the Pizzagate bandwagon fizzled out...
