    They really screwed the pooch with the 737 max9… it’s like the gift that keeps on giving.

    I think internal documents and communication should be seized and a federal criminal investigation is in order… someone must have actively fucked with this.

    Embrear and Airbus are uncorking the champagne now probably.

      I’m not sure the queue for the 319, 320 and 321 can get any longer. Airbus simply can’t ramp production and it’s not like the C919 is ready for prime time (yet).

        Airbus is ramping up. They have had issues with the supply chain, but they should massively increase their production this year. They are opening assembly lines everywhere.
