    Has this come from a Boeing insider or something?

    Calling Europe worthless aside from the U.K. is amusing. I admire the spunk. Now let's see him/her support that.

    It's probably all true, but there is no way testimony would survive a court. This has cost Boeing massively and I see the whole thing going belly up in the next 2 years.

    Yes, spunk. I'm sure he/she can't even begin an argument to defend the statement but it's pretty funny calling the U.K. the shining light, LMAO.

    And yes, this could cause Boeing to go bankrupt. Mind you this will be mostly in name and the important factories will still build planes, it just needs a new name. When people are afraid the fly on your plane, its over.

    Are you from Europe?

    Aren't you talking about rebranding?

    With the story around software problem and lucky avoidance of the recent engine failure with Delta Airlines, I would point out the general view of the situation. It is not about India, or Russia, or Europe. It happens in the USA. And if I was an american I would rather think of what is going wrong in the US. I would also recollect recent scandals around fighters, warships, strange situation with car industry (running Mask's enterprise at a constant loss) to make a conclusion that the US meets a system problem with engineering.

    As long as the US is so far the strongest engineering nation I would not find any excuse that it is happening in the beginning of smth new. It's completely different. It changes from the good to the worse. It's a sign of a wrong tendency and the fault of culture in general. It used to be the best. But smth has changed to the people, their motivation, their attitude. And it is certainly not about the lack of money.

    I wish that I was wrong, because at the brink of the USSR collapse I saw the same. The planes were falling. The best space projects cost huge money with a worthless result. The people lost their motivation asking for the welfare level which was not deserved by their work efforts. The collapse of the USSR brought a lot of blood, losses and hostilities, which are still not over. I wish that americans avoid this scenario preserving peace.

    Why is it funny?

    If they go bankrupt, how can they continue regardless of rebranding?

    What do you mean "asking for the welfare level?"

    They won't pay for their own defense for starters. France is there for a second.

    The link I posted earlier in this thread also explains why MCAS was installed. This explanation comes from Boeing's CEO. If you read the full article you will notice the CEO does try to play down the reason for installing MCAS.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/boeings-ceo-on-why-737-max-pilots-not-told-of-mcas-2019-4

    The need for MCAS is a direct result of an issue arising from the design of the 737 Max.

    To fit the Max's larger, more fuel-efficient engines, Boeing had to position the engine farther forward and up. This change disrupted the plane's center of gravity and caused the Max to have a tendency to tip its nose upward during flight, increasing the likelihood of a stall. MCAS is designed to automatically counteract that tendency and point the nose of the plane down when the plane's angle-of-attack (AOA) sensor triggers a warning.

    It's funny because Germany is clearly the most powerful country in Europe, in wealth, influence, and manufacturing.

    Trump went bankrupt and continued, lol. He just became a bigger douchbag, turned himself orange, and became President.

    Nope not at all.

    Germany's only problem is not paying their fair share of nato.

    America pays between 70 and 90 percent of natos budget. More than Germany, france UK and i think Spain combined.

    Western Europe doesn't speak Russian because of us.

    How much of US contribution is spent on NATO activities? The Far East is not NATO concern
