Patron:

Several weeks ago, I posted:
- that in spite of significantly tightened schedules, many airlines are flying with far too many empty seats.
- that Boeing had aircraft on the tarmac "in paint" (ready for delivery to a specific company) and nowhere to go (cancelled/delayed deliveries).

Boeing is working diligently to "broaden out" into other lines, but it isn't going to help in the near term. The airline industry is facing into the same stiff head winds as every other company out there, hence Boeing's order backlog is deteriorating.

Best, Earlie

patron, there was a good article in the sunday times biz section (either this week or last) about BA and some stoopid new slightly subsonic jet they are hyping in a pretty obvious attempt to get airlines not to commit to the new Airbus jet. I can try to find the link if you need it but if you have a free membership to the NYTimes web site it should be there.
