Boeing Co. is reportedly talking with Delta Air Lines about an order that would be a significant boost to Wichita’s most important aircraft program.
According to a report from Reuters, Boeing (NYSE: BA) is negotiating a deal with Delta for up to 100 of its 737 MAX 10 jets.

Three 737 nosedive accidents in as many years is not the right direction for an airplane company. Just say'n...
@wlq+1fQhJEpZ, you must be Nostradamus! You are right that given the original age of the 737 design and the way the design and manufacturing has been modified in recent years to reduce cost by less than safety conscientious people makes it a much higher accident risk.
When your CFO retires early to grab his severance package at a time when his experience is most needed to help the company deal with a financial disaster, you have to figure things are far worse at the company than publicly disclosed.
I don't think one can in good conscience use the words "right" or "good" in same sentence with Boeing anymore.
I would hardly call paying executives millions in compensation after one of the worst quarters in the company’s history the right direction.
Parasites feeding on the last of the nourishment created back when Boeing was an engineering company before the bankruptcy happens is the direction. I guess that is good for some of the special Boeing people.
If rewarding corruption and incompetence is the right direction, Boeing is as good as it gets.
Seems more like the never ending Boeing PR hype to lift their stock price than any real positive change. Like the other people said, it takes more than talk and nothing really exciting about the 737. Really...the more 737s flying...the larger the fear factor and risk for both company and flying public.
I would be appalled to see NASA waste tax payer money on crazy expensive non-reusable rocket systems. Are there still any astronauts willing to fly on Starliner? Seems like they all left the program for "personal reasons".
I dunno. Kinda hard to get excited about selling a 1960s airplane design that ki---d so many people after a minor engineering mod that should have been trivial.
How will Boeing develop a competitive new airplane in the future when there are few people working at Boeing that know anything about airplane engineering?
It takes more than talk to make things happen. Just say'n.
Boeing has be selling 737Maxs at a loss since the end of the 2 year grounding. Will the Delta sale be the first profit sale since then?
How many 787s will we need to sell to break the development cost and the now nearly one year delivery shutdown for manufacturing defects?
How many 777Xs will we need to sell to break even given the development cost and current non-certifiable FAA status?
How many USAF 767 tankers will we need to sell to break even given the development cost and non-operational USAF status.
How many NASA crew launches will we need to sell to break even on Starliner project given the development cost?
How much more Boeing real estate is left to sell off to generate cash flow for executive bonuses?
Other than this, things are headed in the right direction.
Good To Hear:
My question is,
How many 737 MAX Jets will we need to sell to climb out of the
20 billion dollar debt created by the mismanagement of that program
resulting in the dҽaths of 346 passengers and exposing the Boeing fraud
How many???
