Well that's what happens when your plane falls from the sky: it crushes everything under it

They're expanding their operations pretty significantly in Charleston.

Boeing is undertaking a major $1 billion expansion of its North Charleston, South Carolina, facilities to significantly boost 787 Dreamliner production, aiming for 10 aircraft per month by 2026. The project, which broke ground in late 2024/early 2025, adds over a million square feet, including a second final assembly building, new paint/prep areas, and flight line expansions, creating around 1,000 new jobs over five years and solidifying the site as a global widebody hub.

Yep. They finally got the mba bean counter out of the way, put them in their place, and started actual work again.

Good product,

If you're buying, sell it after a year and a day.

BA was one of my many COVID buys. I got it in March 2020 for under $100 a share

Here's to doing well and hopefully focusing on what's important and not DEI.

Avoid shitty airlines and poorly-trained pilots.

Flying is fairly easy now, except when shite goes south. Then, you better know what you know.

The jack screw issue has been fixed... the real question is a follows....

Would you rather ride in a plane flown by computers, or would you rather ride in a plane flown by pilots

Fly by wire, or fly by controls??

Did they get rid of Dei workers? If not then it’s only a matter of time before they fail again.

The Boeing 777 and 787 say hi. You do realize that's not what fly by wire means? The 777 & 787 are fly by wire aircraft, the Max is a hybrid system. It has some flight controls fly by wire and some traditional.
