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

it slide about 120 points over 12 months in 2021 so I don't know if now

It kinda depends. Way back when, we did a bunch of research projects

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**

Get your tux out and ride the Queen Mary II**

I certainly prefer ships to planes (of any kind).**

I learned a lot about ocean travel to Europe in the last year

All your icebergs are belong to us **
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
Fly through Doha on Qatar **
CrystalCoveHokie 01/24/24 12:37 PM ET
Yep, that's definitely true.**
Chris ColemanAdmin 01/24/24 11:06 AM ET
Those guys(and gals) are compensated well and given golden parachutes
ElbertoHokie 01/24/24 10:35 AM ET
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**
