Oh don't be such a spoilsport BHR, flopster and I are just trying to point out to those nice Americans, that Boeing isn't always top dog!
I'm sure that, if you have any evidence of corporate wrong-doing, "the authorities" would love to hear from you!
Now do tell us how enchanted you are that the price of the Holyrood parliament building has risen from £40m to £400m in just 6 years. Any possibility of bribery or corruption there?

Newswatcher,
"Authorities", who do you have in mind. Which paragons of virtue and unimpeachable behaviour should I go to? I do not know how many times I have called The Samaritans but they keep hanging up on me telling me they have no jurisdiction over the matter and that I should kill myself and have done with it.
Scottish Parliament Building.
I was seriously peeved when I thought that £8 of my hard earned cash was going on that but now that is over £80 and heading upwards I am furious.
Cheers

Wino,
Unless your looking at different financials than I am I can't seem to understand your comments regarding the profitability of the 747 vs the 737.
One can easily tell where the money is being made by calling Boeing Technical Services to modify your aircraft. 747, unless it is already certified you can't get them to do anything. 737, with the exception of the -100s and -200s they will jump through a hoop for you.
To All,
I don't give a bu**er about Boeing vs Airbus. I started this thread to just post an article that may not be seen by many people. I am not anti Airbus. It is amazing how little people can see than what is right in front of them.
If I worked for either, I would be more worried about the writing on the wall regarding the Russians and the Japanese aviation industry. Remember what Japan did to RCA as they send more and more of the build of Boeing aircraft to the Asian sector.
Eventually, the Japanese will say that all their "capacity" will be used by internal companies and none is available for anybody else when they launch their first big airplane program. And.....You can bet your arse that it will fly higher faster and quieter with more realiability than anything the soon to be "Boering Bus" can even come up with.

I think Boeing is going to announce today whether they will offer the 7E7 for sale to customers. Sometime after this, if there's enough interest (i.e. orders), they will give the go-ahead for production.

I have heard the same rumour, but with a variant ; if it is a go ahead the announcement would be tomorrow 17 Dec to jump on the 100 years of (powered) flight celebrations, if it is a no-go then the announcement would be today late or Friday also late.
Let's wait and see.
A new aeroplane is always good news nowadays......even a dreamliner..
