Jump to postI thought California had strict gun laws? Obviously laws are meaningless when nearby states don't have same and/or black market is alive and well. Dems still don't understand laws are pointless unless you're going to massively expand the ATF. They have what 2500 agents? That's less than the Dallas ...

I gave up, US has totally gone mad and insane.
Boeing would only sell BCA to get a lot of money and maybe to move some financial "heritage" from the group to BCA. Just splitting it off with no profit doesn't make sense. Selling it to get money is the point - in theory. I hope they keep it. And who'll buy it? This is not Bombardier and...
Jump to postThey'll sell their commercial projects like Bombardier did. And focus solely on military aircrafts and equipment next. This is the poof that they has not changed at all since the MAX. Sell to who? BCA can easily stands on its own... Who's saying BCA has to stop using the "Boeing" name aft...
Jump to postjust read that there was a robbery/murder in an upscale neighborhood of Chicago. The local media claimed that one of the reasons comapnies like Boeing are leaving the Chicago area is that they feel it is unsafe for their employees. Dont shoot me, Im just the messenger.

Jump to postWell actually they were $4.10 in 2008 because the US was in the midst of an unsubstainable asset bubble that would later crash that year. Both that bubble and the one that's collapsing now were mainly caused by Central Banks flooding the world with almost unlimited cheap money. And not surprisingly...
Jump to postThe lease was likely up on Boeing’s current space. In that scenario you have to make decisions: renew lease at current place or move. Except Boeing own the HQ building in Chicago, as many already said upthread. https://rejournals.com/another-hit-for-chicagos-office-sector-boeing-moving-hq-to-d-c-ma...

Jump to postI see your point but B6 would get something for the NYC/BOS/FLL assets to offset part of the $3.6 Billion purchase price. I really don't see what B6 would be getting, net. Some LAX gates. A lot of Midwest point-to-point routes. It still wouldn't give B6 a Midwest hub. DTW and ORD are current NK mid...
Jump to postNo. Not only are DTW & ORD not "hubs" for NK, by any stretch of the word. But NK isn't even flying DTW-SAN this summer lol Even if DTW isn't a "true NK hub" by definition, I seem to recall NK having a reasonably strong frequent flier base in Metro Detroit - at least pre-pand...
Jump to postThere is also HBO Max which has Lisa Ling specials. At this point, it'd seem they could either move their news documentary fare programming to Discovery+ or HBO Max.

Jump to postI doubt there is any radical opposition party going against the government in Singapore right?

Jump to postSo theoretically an opposition party can win and rule the country? Theoretically yes, but practically it's a tall order.

How about YOU show some objective evidence that RDU is deserving of a ME3 flight. If people are going to make those claims, the burden of proof is on them. In 2014, RDU was the 11th busiest airport in terms of traffic to India (would use Qatar or UAE for connections) which was even above Denver and...
