  2. My mistake. I stand corrected. I was sure Boeing had swallowed them up way back after the L1011 ended production. It was just McDonnell Douglas then. Either way, Boeing has the US monopoly of civilian aircraft builders since nobody else develops civilian aircrafts. Lockheed still does military I found. Airbus also has a factory in the USA but it's a European company.
  3. Those were the days! 😢
  4. Back then Vancouver, BC was a fun place and relatively inexpensive for Americans. Easy to get around, friendly, safe, good food and good accommodations. I knew the place and people well and they knew me as a regular. People from Seattle used to come up for the weekend regularly. Sadly, it's not the place it once was like all cities around the world. I started flying to Montreal instead till it also changed.
  5. No. There only competitor is Airbus in Europe, and the US government contracts with Boeing. Boeing gobbled up decades ago McDonnell-Douglas and Lockheed. There's nobody else. Plus, there are too many 737's flying around the world and thousands of orders still to fill. Boeing's not what they used to be, but I can't see them going belly up.
  6. I just saw "The Diplomat" preview on IMDb. Looks interesting! It kind of reminds me of an excellent mini-series I saw years ago called "The State Within" 2006 TV Mini-Series. The State Within (TV Mini Series 2006) - IMDb WWW.IMDB.COM 50m | TV-14
  7. That depends on your settings. I have mine set up for anonymous, so they can't see I've looked at their profiles and I'm not contacted by them unless I reach out to them.
