...and of course Boeing has a lot more going on than commercial aircraft...space station, cruise missles I think. I obviously do not know enough about BA to judge...but I do think it was crappy of them to announce layoffs, and they always do it before Christmas. Layoffs--first they cant get enough workers, then the lay them off. Lame. And I don't know why they bought Douglas. Also, they needed to stop farting around with the 737...they shuld have pulled workers off those lines and just stopped taking orders, and moved folks over on to the triple 7. 737 is low profit. I mean why take orders you cant fill on a low profit plane. Geeze, they could have sat back, relaxed and raised the price instead of all this market share hubris...in the end you cant compete with the airbus subsidies...so why not just reward your shareholders with profit...keep your employement steady and let a few orders go by the wayside. My rant is finally done.
