  • Exactly what I was thinking. Relocate it to Western Europe, in a country like France they would be showered in public money from local, regional and national funds, then arts preservation funds, then whatever else funds.

    It’s easy to see when watching European cinema, a film like Flow has 3 minutes of “thank you” logos at the beginning, for all the public funding from various regions and actors.



  • It is, but that’s not the reason here (even if not buying a 60 years airframe with shit avionics and too low ground clearance is a valid reason).

    Most Asian orders are for bigger aircrafts, so 777 and 787 for Boeing.

    And even without tariffs retaliation from China, Boeing is fucked because of tariffs. An aircraft is 90% imported parts from all over the world. Airbus is the same, but Airbus is not in the US (well, they have an A320 line there for US market but they can close it and keep working with the rest of the world from Europe, Boeing can’t do that)
