    No, 737 MAX simply is a flawed aircraft that has no certification for German airspace and is not allowed to fly in our airspace.

    Airbus is also heavily subsidized by the French and German federal governments.

    Mexicans, Central Americans and other people from shithole countries are also flawed people with no documentation to be with in the United States.

    I think a really big high wall will work.

    Or we could go German like...

    Do you even know what a joint venture is? Airbus is not a joint venture. It’s registered in Netherlands and Headquartered in France. French decide which aircraft they want to build, they market it and make deals.

    In 2018 they had 18 orders. Having some years with no orders, or few orders, is common and then years come where a lot of orders are placed.
    The table is in the page I provided in prior post.

    Again comparing 50 year history with 10 year history when completely different technologies were used for just about anything is wrong.
    When Boeing introduced 747 germans were still busy rebuilding their country and taking care of their cripples.

    Boeing is not subsidized by the U.S. government.

    Actually Boeing today is a multinational corporation.

    But because of globalism and allowing our industrial base to move off shore beginning with NAFTA, America's national security is dependent on having only three companies that can build warbirds.

    The management of Airbus is German / French. German / French decide what is build and what deals are made.

    The A330 Neo for example was pushed through from Germany against french demands.

    And now in 2019 you take care of your cripples, fat and obese subh. and try to not let your life expectancy fall on 3rd world level. Dude your low standards disgust me.

    79.3 vs 81.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

    Man, the difference is as large as the Atlantic Ocean! :omfg:

    By the way, UK has a higher life expectancy than Germany. And they want out of your union. :juggle:

    It doesn’t matter how much you wish it - Airbus is not a German company.
    Thanks for confirming.

    The problem with Boeing and all other companies in the aerospace industry and every other industry, engineers no longer run these industries and the CEO's have little knowledge if their products and don't have a degree in engineering but a degree in business administration or economics.

    Today the only thing that counts is the bottom line and the accounts and lawyers run the businesses.

    Current Boeing CEO has aerospace engineering degrees, so your point is moot.
    But, greed did get ahead of common sense and now they’ll pay billions for this.

    It’s Happening: the First A380s Are Being Demolished

    The Airbus A380 hasn’t been the game-changing aircraft its maker was hoping it would be. Orders for the plane have all but stopped.

    http://thepointsguy.com/news/a380s-being-demolished/

    And deservingly so. I just flew it two days ago from Paris to Atlanta, business class of course, and what a pile of crap this plane is! Delta’s premiere economy seats are better than Air France A380 business class! No more.

    Of course an aircraft can be confiscated.

    When it violates german airspace and lands, its confiscated and researched what was the cause for the "emergency". It would tehn be stuck on the ground anyways since it would not be able to fly back.

    Muhlenberg does have a degree in engineering but let's take a look of the rest of the Boeing CEO's.

    -> https://www.boeing.com/company/bios/leanne-caret.page

    I see affirmative action Boeing executives, political science executives, BA's in business administration executives, lawyers, accountants, ...

    Not one fighter jock or bomber pilot among them.
    Not one person who knows how to properly use a wrench.

    Boeing is American company and the US government doesn’t own its shares. Boeing is an American company because it’s headquarters are in the US and all of company’s decisions are made within the US.
    Airbus is a French company because it’s headquartered in France. It’s not a German company.

    The HQ of Airbus is in Leiden Netherlands

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus

    Its located in the netherlands exactly for this reason, because its a German / French corporation

    Its even registered in the netherlands to make sure its not a french or german company but a german / french company.

    But i know i talk with a slav here. Guys who blow up their own nuclear power plants and then watch it burn and melt.
