NASA freezes Starliner missions

Boeing really needs to get a break pretty soon.

Feels like they broke a mirror and have 7 years of continuous bad luck.

Boeing gets a break every day there is a jet duopoly, and both are booked years out on orders.

And if you try to compete you will be hit with a 300% tariff which was removed once bombadier was sold to airbus for $1 (the eu has the ability to push equivalent tariffs and also has assembly facilities in the us which Canada does not allowing it to avoid such tariffs). https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/192dfwh/til_...

Poor Boeing and their billions and billions in guaranteed government defence spending. They’re fine.

Nah. The families of the people killed in avoidable crashed of the 737 max after Boeing misrepresented training requirements and hid data about new mission critical automated systems. Those include pilots accused of Boeing of incompetence to try and cover up this issue.

My comment was directed to they have to show that whatever they build actually works in the near future. And not that they don’t have money or they’ll go out of business anytime soon.

With the current state of affairs, it is not hard to believe that in 10-15 years they might be a shell of their former selves and they do only maintenance on existing airplanes.

Boeing, a corporation facing criticism for its CEO's $20+ million compensation package and involvement in fatal airplane incidents and skimp out on safety because of its greed needs a break.
