Your definition of full disclosure is a joke, you know that? Flightaware squawks have nothing to do with it. Leaving it out is dishonest by any reasonable standard. I'm not Boeing. I never mentioned the word subsidies. Focus.

I'd want revenge, too. We all would.

Of course by fair you mean you agree and nothing more.... because his not disclosing a personal connection to the story is the very definition of unfair. And he's complaining about bias. That's ripe. Double standards are ok if it's for a good cause. "...the notorious prone-to-stall Boeing 737 MAX" And lying is ok if it's for a good cause.

I don't, not on the business part. A duopoly like coke/pepsi is a strange thing anyway, but this... Airbus and Boeing are obviously competitors and love hating each other, but they also have a really good thing going. A really really good thing, and if one company gets in trouble (desperate), it would unquestionably be bad for both (along with the flying public). Both companies have single-isle order backlogs of something like five thousand airplanes? Six thousand? If every max order was cancelled in favor of a320's tomorrow, airbus couldn't even think of delivering on those orders for, what, 3 years? And if all these max operators want compensation for the brand new airplanes sitting around gathering dust, they better have something on order with Boeing because that's how they're going to collect. Future discounts, yes. Check in the mail by the end of the week, no. Neither company can build airplanes fast enough. Both companies are sitting on huge piles of money. So wh

I'll take that bet. What other airline operates the max exclusively with no other 737's in their fleet? What airline isn't already short on pilots? And, of those, how many lost 55 million bucks last year and was already cutting costs/routes?

You mean the airlines that have been complaining about not being able to hire enough pilots for as long as I can remember? Those other airlines?

Help me with the thought process here, James. The original LA Times article is available online , but you choose to go with an article that links to another article that links to the original. Was it the authors bio that put his version on top of your list? "Mike Wehner has reported on technology and video games for the past decade, covering breaking news and trends in VR, wearables, smartphones, and future tech." https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-boeing-737-max-fliers-avoid-20190604-story.html Submission Guidelines The Squawk link should direct to the most authoritative and/or comprehensive source on the story. For example, the link shouldn't be to a blog that is simply copying news content or linking back to the original source.
