Max

That's neither a 737 MAX, nor any Boeing model. Cause of the crash not known at this point. But hey, logic be damned, short BA! Please...

smh

That's neither a 737 MAX, nor is it at all likely any malfunction of the aircraft. But hey, logic be damned, short BA! Please...

+1 Absolutely correct.

Saw the WSJ article. Will be interested to hear logic for disabling the sensor mismatch warning. That's not something they would have done without some thought. And until we do...hoping for a dip in stock price on Monday.

Short sellers unite!

Soon it will be raining planes.

Finally ready to put your (short) money where your mouth is?

I was being facetious of course. Concorde has a design flaw that allowed a disrupted tire tread to puncture the fuel tank. But that was re-engineered and the planes returned to flight. What doomed the Concorde was economics.

Tylenol has killed more people in the time the 737 has been flying than the airplane has. It's done that for decades and still is on store shelves. Same for doctors, firearms, cars, single engine piston aircraft, alcohol, tobacco, suicide and high fructose corn syrup. The list is long.

Naah. No one will ever get on a future 737 Max flight. It’s a bad design that cannot be fixed. Same thing doomed the Concorde. Now, where do I find the roll eyes emoji? Interestingly, airline profits may increase as fares likely will given the limitation on ASM growth.

Down about 2% since I bought. May wade deeper into these waters tomorrow. Betting against either member of a duopoly seems unwise.

But, did you die?

So, did I piss in your cornflakes at some point that I don’t recall?

Typographical error.

Yeah, change the thread title! But wait, this thread was started about the irrevocably doomed 787, right? Might have to scrap that after all. Re the MDL... I won’t be a part and if you had any clue about how the legal system works, you’d know that. I bought with a reasonable understanding of the issues and did not participate in the $34B tumble. Of course, you didn’t have the balls to play the game at all. Did I piss in your cornflakes at some point that I don’t recall? You’ve been a fucktard here for a while and I have no idea why.

Very little doubt that is the smart strategy. I don't often buy individual stocks, don't manage the majority of my investments regardless and treat it as a game. I like my odds on this one though.

I'm neither closed minded, nor deaf. And there is not a lack of expertise at FAA. This was a design decision that was wrong in retrospect. They will overcome it and be better in the long run. I actually did buy this morning when they were down about 4%, they've fallen a bit more since. BofA new price target is $420, BA currently about $375 with 2% dividend yield so I'm comfortable with decision. Check with me in a decade and we'll see how things are going. And to be clear, I don't ever invest much in an individual stock. I'm not good enough at it to enjoy taking the risk (and would argue that no one is). It's just a game. So, @Oaktown did you short it?

So you're not going to short BA? I sure wish you would. I guess we'll know which of us is right in a few years. Until then, be sure to avoid those crazy Boeing planes.

You may be right. If so, I suppose you should short BA. They are down about 2% after market so far...this may be your chance! I'm not betting on that however. They are slowing production to avoid a traffic jam. They have an order backlog of 5,000 planes. And worldwide civil aviation authorities will demand nothing; almost all have reciprocal certification agreements. That's why the Airbus jets don't have to complete independent FAA certification procedures.

Two actually.

I thought Part 135 governs charter (and government operations and helicopters) and Part 121 governs scheduled air carriers (ie. Delta and American). Or do both Parts 135 and 121 apply to commercial carriers? If the MCAS system proves to be the common denominator in these crashes (and that appears to be the case), it is an OEM installed system and would be found on all MAX8, MAX9 and MAX10 aircraft.

I'm suspicious that Comrade Bill would not set foot on an airplane produced in any other than a capitalist system. The Antonov, Tupolev, Ilyushin brands are hard to find...

That's cool. Will certainly inspire that young man to learn. Good for Joyce.

The diversion of the WN airplane being ferried to storage was due to an engine issue. At least according to the only two people present at the time.
