Boeing won’t win FAXX
They have not performed well enough on other programs like the TX trainer and the KC tanker to merit, winning both new fighter programs. Also, I think they were awarded F47 to help them financially since they seem to be struggling. I don’t... — read more

Boeing and transparency
I’ve worked at a few big corporations, but I’ve never seen leadership this paranoid about sharing information. We’re left guessing all the time while major decisions get made behind closed doors. It constantly creates this weird tension across teams... — read more

Boeing POS: Bo-m On KC-46 Tanker Just Broke Off During F-22 Refueling Mission
https://www.twz.com/air/kc-46-tankers-bo-m-just-broke-off-during-f-22-refueling-mission
Glad Boeing didn’t build the F-35
Isn’t that a fiasco? 100 Billion per plane that won’t fly in rain. How bad is that engineering problem? How the heck did they pass QA? A stealth fighter that can’t fly away is just crazy. Good roast on YouTube.

RAT
What would cause RAT to deploy this early during takeoff? It doesn't make sense. I know its engine or hydraulics-related, but wouldn't we have some sort of warning during pre -flight check if something was so bad.
"There are more than 360 Boeing 787-8s in service around the world, with American Airlines operating more than any other carrier. "
I guess I won't be flying American Airlines anytime soon.
