Emirates Says Wants 'Grown-Up' Talks On Boeing 777X
Emirates on Wednesday urged Boeing (BA.N) to provide more details on the performance capabilities and delivery dates of the in-production 777X jet, suggesting orders could be revised depending how the jet had performed in testing. (www.reuters.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Wait, did you just say the president signed "an order" that limits the amount of fuel available to an airline owned by an oil-rich middle eastern government?
Ric, not that I needed it, but thanks for reminding me why sleepy is so much better than stupid.

People bitch and moan when airplanes certified too quickly, and they bitch and moan when it takes too long.
Could it be that people just like to bitch and moan?

"Adult talks" have to be spelled out.
Boeing's history of greed coupled with lack of jail time for 346 deaths, means executives will keep their wealth no matter what. 'Failure to deliver' is relatively trivial.

If I am not mistaken, Boeing does not mandate Pilot training for its aircraft, nor maintenance procedures or lack thereof. As a for profit company (or else extinct) yes they cut costs and try to maximize profits. Dont you in your own personal dealings ? Is it somehow evil when a corporation does the same ? How many of the 777X crashes were from American based airlines ? Oh none ? Hmm, well thats interesting and begs further inquiry, doesnt it ?
This is not the first time and likely not the last time Emirates’ boss Tim Clark bitches and moans publicly about something. All contingencies around 777X performance guarantees and delivery times ought to be spelled out in the purchase contracts between Emirates and Boeing, so that would be the framework for ‘grown up’ talks.
Well, it also be the case that manufacturers over promise and under deliver when selling.
