Boeing is a US corporation that has made a lot of products that have defended our national honor very well. William Boeing is someone who should be applauded vigorously, not only for his patriotism but for his business sense and his willingness to take a risk. Sound like an American businessman?
 
However, they have made mistakes, not unlike any US corporation. One of those mistakes might have been to make fun of Airbus and their 380 fiasco. There is one US corporation that might make money with this aircraft and that is FEDEX. They will not have to put 500 passengers into this behemoth but only fill it with overnight letters or the like. The Memphis airport has already made improvements that will allow the 380 to operate here at the home of FEDEX. Only a few airports worldwide have done so and with good reason.
 
I can only hope that Boeing will come to their senses, discontinue the foreign manufacture of parts to a very large degree and resume normal American production of superior aircraft.

Better a PR nightmare than having bodies strewn all over the world. Boeing has made plenty of mistakes over the years but generally has put out a superior product. And, it doesn't have the full force and faith of the US government backing it. At least, not yet.

You mean like Toyota, etc. who manufactures cars here now. Boeing was trying to be a world provider of togetherness, a silly thing to do.
 
I agree that airline economics don't make sense. How can an extremely highly leveraged industry with billions of debt ever expect to make money without the "accounting" principles of using a snapshot today of how things are going.
 
Without your asking, FEDEX will make money because they rescinded their contracts to buy the A 380 when it became obvious it could not and would not be delivered any where nearly on time. I think they will make money because they will snap up used ones for a pittance and convert them into freighters. As stated before, FEDEX doesn't need to carry 500 passengers from A to B. They only need to carry an enormous amount of freight from a few selected places to one of more of their hubs, of which MEM is the main.

I speak Southern, US English, some Ebonics and variations of the "Queen's English" or at least try to understand it.

How old are you and do you have any organs left if you have been a donor all this time? JK. Everyone should strongly consider being a potential organ donor or even an actual one, if the situation is right. Kidney for a relative or close friend; ditto for part of a liver; etc.
 
Leaving any "good" parts to just waste after you are gone is just a shame.
