I'm just telling you, this one is different. We'll see how it turns out. It's enough if a few of the loudest customers know how to tell and push it in social media to tarnish an airline's reputation with it seriously.

Strongly opposed to this. I hope the European Commission does its job and does not allow this to proceed. The Europe - Latin America market would be far too concentrated.

The entire Boeing board is disgraced because they allowed the culture that led to the Max disaster to take hold and fester - if they didn’t even actively encourage it. They are not worth their money and need out. Boeing needs an activist investor to refurbish the weak leadership.
