Remember, Boeing still owes Senator Patty Murray, et al. for intervening in the last big Boeing-Air Bus clash over the Air Force refueler fiasco.
I wish a rival could start up in South Carolina to fulfill Boeing’s former dreams. Unfortunately, the initial cost (particularly the cost of buying enough of the right senators) seems to be too high.

Airbus received $72 billion in orders at the Paris Air Show compared with $22 billion for Boeing. These figures do not represent the undisclosed negotiated discounts, but still…. Boeing used to be number one!

The feds and the individual states should step back and let the company deal with this crisis, and not hit them when they are down.
