Outsold Airbus for the first time since 2018.

Deliveries are rising.

Stock at two year high.

Delta ordered 30 787-10 Dreamliner.

Alaska Airlines ordered 145 Boeing planes, including five 787s and 105 737-10 aircraft, with options for 35 additional 737 MAX jets.

Fly Dubai another 75 737 Max planes.


Good for Boeing, seemed to be heading back in the right direction.

Well, they could only go up considering how hard they crashed.

Apparently, this is the ‘pump.’ When is the ‘dump’ part?

Putting engineering back in the driver's seat paying dividends?

When the McDonnell AIDS finally became “full blown,” yes. But for sure not before that, and hopefully not now. Boeing is a great company when engineer driven.

That’s all fine and dandy, but how many non binary indigenous people of color work for Boeing?

Now if they could stop fricking up all of their military products.

- T-7 training aircraft, 3 years late
- B-52 GPS Interface Unit (basically a computer), after spending over $100M they couldn't even get to a critical design review and the entire program was cancelled
- B-52 Link-16 integration, 4 years late
- B-52 Radar Modernization Program, Nunn-McCurdy breach and 5 years late
- B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program, 5 years late
- B-1 external weapon pylons, costs tripled over a 2 year period and deliveries are now 2 years behind
- MH-139 helicopter, Nunn-McCurdy breach and 2 years late
- Design for Carriage and launch equipment for the Long Range Standoff weapon (new nuclear cruise missile, contract terminated for cause and eliminated from competition for further design and production

Guess we'll have to see how they do on the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance program.

Unless you're heavily invested in or employed by Boeing who cares?

Boeing being fricked up is a sign of America being fricked up, in simple terms

I’ve appreciated Boeing planes since I was a little kid with B-52’s flying around & my fav 747. I care that they get their shat in order & they continue to make fantastic aircraft.

Airbus is actually winning. Parts shortages due to tariffs are killing their production. Airbus has the sales.
