How about the United CEO? He's on record as not counting on

delivery of the max10's he has on order. They are not FAA certified, and he said they are 5 years behind plan. United is a big customer and if they go to Airbus it will hurt. The United CEO said on Monday they are evaluating alternative options. Since it's a 0/1 option, that means Airbus. Calhoun was on the BOD before taking over as CEO. They had ample opportunity to improve their safety record when the 737Max was grounded the first time.

On a side note, I feel like now would be a good time to buy Boeing stock.**

It kinda depends. Way back when, we did a bunch of research projects
Tafkam Hokie • 01/24/24 11:33 AM ET
Didn't help that a wheel fell off a Boeing 757 plane this weekend as it
Nortazhokie • 01/24/24 10:37 AM ET
That's a pretty old airplane, last production was nearly 20 years ago...

Not to worry. Delta is replacing it's 757 fleet with Boeing Max 10s.
ModerateHokie • 01/24/24 01:37 PM ET
Hate those Delta 757s. So bouncy on the landings**

Maybe I'll take a ship to Europe this year.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/24/24 10:40 AM ET
Get your tux out and ride the Queen Mary II**
UTPr0sim • 01/24/24 12:47 PM ET
I certainly prefer ships to planes (of any kind).**

TomTurkey • 01/24/24 12:56 PM ET
Stick with one of the Euro airlines
MAHokie69 • 01/24/24 11:04 AM ET
Aer Lingus is cheap and good
Happy Dog • 01/24/24 02:45 PM ET
I second this. I always avoid US carriers going to Europe.**
HwoodHokie • 01/24/24 11:54 AM ET
I'm flying back from Luxembourg most likely...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/24/24 12:17 PM ET

Those guys(and gals) are compensated well and given golden parachutes

No sympathy **
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/24/24 10:34 AM ET
Sounds like Boeing doesn’t know alot about it either. **
GreenvilleVT • 01/24/24 10:31 AM ET
Total compensation per year around $21 million...may not be enough for that**
