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_...
