If it is Boeing, I am not flying

If it is Boeing, I am not flying seems to be the byword today for most travelers. Those that have not suffered the scare will always do the dare, no doubt about it. It is their own life to play around with.

Apart from safety issues, Boeing is unable to deliver planes ordered and some airlines have resorted to cancelling orders. When time is the essence of making money, delay of a few years of planes needed today is not acceptable.

There have been reports that counterfeit titanium parts and aluminum alloys have been substituted by an Italian parts manufacturer, which is scary to think of. Boeing is selling planes costing hundreds of millions each and still needs cost cutting measures just boggles the mind. Shareholder's returns are more important than safety of passengers.

Suffice to say, Boeing planes are not all made in the USA, and it still relies on supply chains from around the world. Trump's tariff will add more to the misery of Boeing.
