Yeah right.....Not for 2007, but maybe since 2004. Was the plane even introduced then? Where are they getting their figures? Previous Sales 2007 to date 11/13/2007 I'm sure Cheshire Tom will get a chuckle from this. Scott Carson must be getting senile. Or that's a typo from the SPI.

Well you got to remember that article is 4 years old. McNerny is in charge now, and not Stonecipher. Stonecipher couldn't keep his dick in his pants like Condit couldn't. Last I heard from Condit is his latest wife is Thai. Unfortunately Boeing still has too much of McD element at the helm. Followed by some Nano Raven Type of Rockwell Management. When Boeing first bought Rockwell in 1996, they were good to us. They shipped us manufacturing work from Puget Sound for the 737 / 777. Once McD became part of Boeing that stopped. We were also being bombarded by NASA trying to take away our S

Thanx I find it interesting the Boeing execs wanted us to be ethical, YET they seem to have a bigger problem living up to their words.

Big D, Since you're pointing out history of Airbus transgressions. Let me post one on Boeing. Boeing What Really Happened Flawed strategy. Lax controls. A weak board. Personal shortcomings. CEO Phil Condit lasted longer than he should have Business Week 12/15/03 author: Stanley Holmes (Copyright 2003 McGraw-Hill, Inc.) The really surprising thing about Philip M. Condit's resignation as chairman and chief executive officer of Boeing Co. (BA ) was not that his seven-year tenure ended so abruptly on Dec. 1, but that it lasted so long. Recent allegations of

Mexican food in the states tastes nothing like Mexican food in Mexico. I assume that's the case with Tequila Reef too. I have an easier time finding Thai Food in the states that tastes Thai. Do yourself a favor, and visit Mexico first and find out why it tastes so good there. Then when you open your restaurant in Pattaya, you'll be serving authentic Mexican food. I don't know what it is but the biggest mistake here in the states they make first is the chips and salsa. It's always watery and too saucy. In Mexico it's not, strickly chopped onions, cilantro, and tomatoes with no s

4 strips of bacon or 4 sausages or 2+2, and of course a nice glass Nam Som. Which reminds me The Sala Thai across from Sabai Inn and next to Sabai Lodge is all you can eat. It's good, but make sure you take a shot of pepto bismol because that bacon will do you in. You will constanly be on the toilet because of the spice they put on the bacon. The potatoes did me in at the RG. Too much spice on them.

They can always build dikes like New Orleans. Then they have to worry about tropical storms.

Don't' worry about Scally. Well I just called the job shop. They closed out the position. Probably because my job shop overbid again, after i told him to drop my labor price to $20-22 per hour, I have also filled out my complaint against Boeing, and initiated it as of now..

Who cares?

Sounds like he needs to take a vacation. Crusing down the Chao Phraya? Or is it the mighty Mississippi?

You posted one of the A400 being behind schedule. The other one is about a problem with the 330 340 landing gear. The former is appropriate for the topic, while the latter belongs somewhere else. Seems like your trying to kick Airbus by finding anything negative on the net.

So what does this have to do with the Boeing & Airbus running behind schedule? To me it's a good thing they found this potential mishap before it did cause a loss of life.

If he knows how to use one.

When does Singapore Air intend on starting their first revenue flights?

Show your class man. Don't return a slap in the face for another. Just look at Lockheed Martin vs. Boeing PSAs. Instead of saying what they are doing to make flight better (which is bullshit Boeing is trying to make as much money as possible) Lockheed's Public Service Announcement extols their employees virtues on how they are contributing to their communities to make them a better place to live. Who would you rather do business with? A guy that says "I work for Boeing I'm trying to make flight better" Or a person that contributes to the well being of their community, I've alwa

Down $2.25 since yesterday. It was at a all time high of $107-$110. Hi, It would be a miracle if Japan did it. They never bought Airbus products before. Once you see long time Boeing customers in Japan start buying Airbus, you know Boeing will be in trouble.

He looks like he's snoring. Never saw a dead person propped up in bed like that with his mouth wide open.

Thanx Big D I hope it isn't another let down like the County job where I came in 2nd place out of 9 candidates. I'll let you guys know today if I got the job. But it's gonna be awhile till I get to come back to LOS. Aerospace companies don't give 3 weeks vacation till after 10 years of service. But they give the holiday week off @ XMAS and New Years. I really don't like traveling at the height of tourist season though.

Not a chance. Lockheed won't go back into the commercial market. The EU will bail Airbus out, just like the US Government will bail Boeing out. BTW, I find out tomorrow whether or not I'll be working for Northrop. I found out from my job shop that the "management is very impressed with me." I'm going head to head with another job shopper. After the 6 month contract is up, more than likely I'll become a full time Northrop employee. Read my answer to Scally.

Are you sure swami? Well give a hand to Cathay Pacific for being an innovator and putting their econo seats that recline within a shell If I go again in the near future, I'll have to remember that when booking my ticket. What about EVA Air? I don't remember stipulating in my last post about it being a "Boeing problem" but a EVA problem. You should have said McDonnell Douglas. They are now part of Boeing because of Airbus.

I find it quite funny hearing about some guy can't affording to travel to LOS, when he's there living retired, After all if it''s cheaper there than your own country. Why would you want to travel there 5 times a year? And Tom you could always go to the City of Brotherly love for a Philly Cheesteak. But something tells me that's not part of a Scotsman's diet.

I think with that statement, it shows your confidence in Boeing's new Marvella Plastico know as the 787. Lemme tell you, I was excited to fly in the 777-300ER. Flew it within the first 2 months after EVA used it for revenue flights. It would still be a great airplane if they reduced the seat count to 2-3-2 in Elite Class, and a 2-4-2 in economy. It isn't no 747, and the 777 is a thinner fuselage than the 747. That's why I hate it. Unless you're flying business class, be prepared for a very uncomfortable 14 hours.

I guess that means you won't be flying the first 787s either? Prime example TWA Flight 800, which exploded after takeoff from JFK in 1996. BTW do you know the first "Final Destination" movie used that crash as an example for that movie?
