Who knew the commercial aerospace industry was a Mafia. I thought that only applied to the military side of things.
Boeing hasn’t been Boeing since it merged with McDonnell Douglas about 27 years ago.
How many American companies are left? There used to be a dozen of them around WW2.
For commercial aviation, literally just Boeing. And then Europe has Airbus. The aviation industry really is a fantastic example of how capitalism works.
Remember how they used to get full course meals in flights? Now we’re packed like sardines and we get a bag of peanuts and a coke.
I’m not old enough to remember that. Weren’t tickets much more expensive back then though? I was under impression that both prices and standards fell. Regardless, that’s an airline carrier issue that has little to do with Boeing.
This is more of a feels comment lol, I just looked into it and yeah tickets used to be about 10x as expensive
So you can still get a really good experience now but yeah it’s going to be 10x more expensive as well lol
On US airlines it’s only half a coke unless you ask for the full can
Tendency towards monopoly in action.
Be lucky you don’t live in communist china where Xi Jinping personally owns every company and dives into a large pool of money every morning
That list where Stalin was the richest person in history for having the entire production capacity of the USSR at his fingertips but it’s Xi with china
Scrooge McDuck style.
Boeing is both. And it needs commercial aviation for profit and camouflage for the other side.
Makes sense. I loathe the MIC.
I remember reading about how an aerospace Company who installed some navigational tech inside Air Force 1 also sold the same tech to the Russians lol. Supposedly they got fined but are still doing business with the US government in security. Don’t remember which company though
I know what you’re talking about, one of the ones Northrop Grumman bought up.
Here’s the natopedia summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman#International_Traffic_in_Arms_Regulations_(ITAR)_violations

What if working in QA was more deadly than being a cop?
It’s as dangerous being a “good” cop for surprisingly similar reasons lol
Wow gee golly it sure is weird how these Boeing whistleblowers keep dying huh? I’m sure it’s nothing, now if it was DRUMPF in the WH I’d say foul play
This is why it’s so important to vote Biden next election!
How does this keep happening to Quality assurance employees associeted with Boeing? Is there some unique chemical that this position is uniquely exposed to? /s
Lead, at high velocity
damn, weird how he got the rare Total Organ Failure Virus at such an unfortunate timing
I can’t believe how many of these Boeing guys are suffering from self-inflected acute lead poisoning of the occipital bone. They’ve got a real problem on their hands.
I mean im not really a conspiracy guy, but come on.
Another one! Libs still want to argue we live in a “rules based” society

Is it fair to say Boeing is way too important to the us military for anything meaningful to happen?
I feel like that’s more Lockheed Martin but Boeing is up there for sure.
Boeing makes b52 bomber, apache helicopter, f15 fighter, and f18 naval fighter. Lots of stuff that amerikkka loves
Boeing only makes that stuff because they’ve bought out the companies that have designed it where as Lockheed Martin actually designs aircraft for military use. In the end it looks like Boeing civilian obligations are what is going to take it down and not their military obligations, which is why I said Lockheed is more important.
Does boeing have a really-bad-pneumoniatm gun? Or so many whistleblowers that it’s statistically likely that some will catch pneumonia?
It seems plausible it could be a poison, for example:
Symptoms of ricin poisoning depend on whether a person breathes in the ricin, eats it or gets it in a shot. When breathed in, ricin causes fever, chest tightness, cough and breathing problems. Ricin can cause a fluid buildup in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema.
