Transport Canada’s expectations and requirements for additional training for

Since the agency approved the revised training program on December 21,
pilots for the three Canadian Max operators—Air Canada, WestJet,
and Sunwing—have engaged in the revised training.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),” noted the Canadian authority,
Is issuing its own unique airworthiness directive as opposed to the adoption
of the much maligned FAA airworthiness directive.

Boeing on edge as a shrunken commercial jet industry limps into 2021
Boeing faces 2021 in bad shape, its reputation trashed and its commercial
jet business shrunken dramatically after the company murdered 346 people
then Covid-19 hit
In the single-aisle jet market — which five years ago was split evenly with
Airbus but has steadily swung toward the European rival —
the Max fiasco has floored Boeing and allowed its rival to grab about 60%
of that high-volume business.

Boeing has declined to make any executive available for a year-end
interview, citing gross incompetence in all of its laughable leadership.

after its “own assessments, verifications and internal reviews determine that
the aircraft is safe enough for us to profit from.

The Max Is Back, Watch It Soar Just Like Before
Into the heavens it climbs escaping earthly binds
Flitting above the clouds unbound from its fleeting glory
Then down she dives with a mournful whine
A Shimmy A Shake A Buffet
Then The Captain’s Cry, not again it’s not my time
A voice from within the mighty Max cry’s aloud
Pull-up, Don’t Sink, Over-speed, Whoop –Whoop
Again and Again it shrieks
Don’t Sink, Pull-up, Over-speed, Whoop –Whoop
Confusion and Chaos in the Cacophony of Safety
Terrain, Pull-up, Don’t Sink, Don’t Die, The Captain’s Cry
They said it was fixed, They said it was safe, Boeing wouldn’t lie
Turn the Trim Wheel, The Captain’s Cry
Help me Help me or we’re all going to die
Try with all your will, Try with all your might
Turn this damn itty bitty Trim Wheel; The Captain’s Cry
How do you un-load from a full dive; The Captain’s Cry
Invert was Travolta’s Cry
The Max Is Back, Watch It Soar Just Like Before
Into the earth it plows, bound to the soil forever more
All souls on-board escaping their earthly binds
Flitting above the clouds unbound

Boeing Considers Diluting Stock Value to Cut $61 Billion Debt Burden
https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/12/04/boeing-considers-selling-stock-to-cut-61-billion-d/
Dec 4, 2020
Boeing put to rest questions about its viability back in April by raising $25
billion in new debt. Now, with the Max Fraud airborne again and airlines slowly
recovering, the company is considering issuing more shares to pay down some
of that 61 Billion dollars of debt the BoD created when their Max scam fell apart

Appearing at a Credit Suisse investment conference Friday,
Boeing’s chief financial officer Greg Smith said the company's focus in the
months to come will be on paying down some of its massive $61 billion in debt.
"When it comes to capital deployment, ...
it will be all about paying down that debt.
We'll continue, obviously, to invest in the business, but we got to get this debt
balance down. We will look for every opportunity to do that in the most
efficient scheme possible, no matter how devious, including equity," said Smith.
The only rule is there are no rules.

History teaches us lessons if you listing?
Let's go back to a dark day 9/11. When 1st plane crashed into the North tower, the media said it was a FREAK ACCIDENT. South tower people where wanting to leave where told go back to work keep calm media is reporting FREAK ACCIDENT.
Then 18 minutes later we all know what has happened. THINK FOR YOURSELF! The Boeing CEO and all board members and there family need to fly on a flight on 737 Max then i will fly.

Can an airline really refuse an aircraft without wasting some significant amount of money? I assume the airline or leasing company start paying from the moment they place an order all the way through construction, finished by a final payment at the moment of acceptance? When one orders a building company to build a house, you are given a payment schedule, I assume it is the same with airplanes.

Covid’s timing was devastating for Boeing and the 737 Max.
When the planes were grounded, Boeing kept producing them assuming the issue would be resolved quickly. As of January 2020, slightly before Covid, they had 400 planes built, but not delivered to customers (and so customers haven’t paid for them). Boeing was funding these aircraft with debt.

All of a sudden, demand for air travel drops off a cliff.

All those airlines now decide “I’m just not going to take delivery of those aircraft”. Which also means “I’m not going to pay for them”.

Had the timing gone in the other order, all of those aircraft would have been delivered, and paid for, and airlines would have been holding the bag. (and the covid crisis would have limited the damages airlines could claim, and thus demand from Boeing, if they could meet their reduced schedules with other aircraft).

Don’t care. Show me real movement on the corporate mindset.

The plane is a STEM engineer fixable issue. The corporate mess that pushed this across flying clearance is not.
