CSeries : UK Under Pressure to Cut Down on Orders to Boeing Worth $10 Billion
Boeing has opened a can of worms with their assault on Bombardier. Prime Minister May cannot afford to lose these votes and stay in power and she will have to accommodate these unions. As predicted on another thread, Boeing's non-commercial products are going to take a significant hit over this dispute. (www.fliegerfaust.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
funny that a CS has more US content than a 787.....
IMHO, Boeing top echelon is still working in the '50's. See laying off engineers/hiring back engineers ...now see UK being forced to cut back Boeing orders because of the Bombardier kerfuffle.
Little or no forethought to these decisions? Rather like the head of 'The Swamp'?

Mandatory Reading for Boeing: "How to make friends" by Dale Carnegie
America first....
Interestingly enough, Boeing's current plight demonstrates that their interest was in Boeing and not in America. They have lost at least $14 Billion in American produced goods with the non-commercial aircraft business and stand to lose a great deal more if the same anti-Boeing philosophy invades their commercial aircraft arm. As demonstrated with Bombardier Airbus is ready to scoop up the business as undoubtedly are the Chinese.
Actually canuck44, I will have to partially agree with Hugh..yes Boeing's current plight was mostly because they were all about Boeing, but the US Government amplified matters immensely..basically what the US Government said was "it's ok if it happens in our country (subsidies to Boeing and allowing Boeing to dump aircraft), but anyone else tries it and they shall feel our rath"
The financial penalties sought by Boeing were eagerly increased, being condoned by the Trump administration. The willingness of the Trump administration to sacrifice the industries in other countries, which all generally have higher rates of unemployment, shows the greed. If I had my preference, it would be to avoid all US products, Boeing just one of them. Boeing needs to make some friends. European, Russian, China, and other countries all produce comparable products. Boeing, and American manufacturers in general, cannot afford to ignore consumer enmity. But it is a big picture. Why buy a manufactured product from a country that does not seem to give a damn about the environment and climate change?
You were doing well until the end of your last sentence. The US is a world leader in environmental clean up...much more so than the EU and of course China and India have done little. Climate change happens continuously with or without man and the current climate mullahs are really just promoting a religion without a basis in fact unless the data is manipulated. None have yet to tell us what "normal" climate constitutes putting aside all the dire predictions, none of which have come to fruition.
I suggest a read of James Hansen's work, STORMS IF MY GRANDCHILDREN"", which explains all the science, free online. He has been involved at the White House level for a while. Currently, the US is the only country bailing out of the Paris Accord. China, very deftly, has now the appearance of a climate saviour. All this will spin of against many of America's images, including the commercial attraction related to dealing with aircraft manufacturers.
I suggest you read up on James Hansen rather than his fictional works. He was cashiered out of NASA for very good reasons...a real trick for a well entrenched Swamp Creature.
Been there, done that. Boeing, plus the Trump administration, are ready to beat up the rest of the world with America first. Got that message. I will vote with my wallet. If it’s an American product, I’m not flying on it. But don’t worry, I am confident that the loss of $10 billion is not that big a deal for US aerospace jobs....
I believe Hugh was trying to partially put down your comment "The US is a world leader in environmental clean up" and realizes what this James Hansen is all about "He has been involved at the White House level for a while." Perhaps the US was a world leader in environmental clean-up, but as of late they have regressed..yes climate change happens continuously on an up and down scale, but man is not helping and could be, and more likely than not is, exasperating it...You yourself mentioned China and India...picture the temperature in you living accommodations (the earth) is near perfect for you (yes there are small periods when it dips up or down till the A/C or furnace correct it..the planet itself). Then you crawl up under a nice thick blanket (the smog and increasing CO2 levels)..you are going to get warmer a whole lot faster..that isn't just science, it's fact.
