your belief that if you have a foreign name , then your just off the boat . They could be MIT grads and 2nd generation Americans . By your comments can also draw a pretty clear picture of you .

It's amazing to me how much authority the FAA gave Boeing ,and how much Boeing deceived . But what about this new certification of the Max . This has to be the most perfect plane ever made . But i still don't know how that can be replicated on all the Max Aircraft out in Airline hands , and the #'s of Max's made and never delivered . There is still an enormous amount of work ahead for all parties , Airlines and other Country regulators , before they will have all of the Max's back in the air . .....

I have read the article with an eye of how the Canadian Gov't might respond to a potential request , for a cash infusion of 1 Billion $ CDN , to keep the lights on at Air Canada . While Air Canada has mentioned this figure , the airline has made no formal or public request . But did publically admit that they are loosing so much , that it could threaten the very survival of the airline . It is sad but very true that All Carriers around the world are in similar situations . And bankrupcies or foldings of the companies is Real . So i watch to see what happens .....Those are my thoughts .............DGR

Hi KT . For me , the images of row upon row of mothballed aircraft , not only speaks to how serious our present situation is , but also speaks to just how long it may last . I have never seen anything like this , and it is not just British Airways and Delta , it is every airline on the planet . It is just so creepy and so sad ... And saying my Prayers just might be the right thing to do ......Thank-you KT .........DGR

If they didn't need them , why order them . But where these canceled ones due to replace older ones . I still want to see if other Airlines will do the same in the future .

I have been constantly amazed at how Boeing has just played Fast and Lose with regulations , as each new tid bit is revealed . It is not just being an over zealous FAA , but Boeing just letting everything slide . Any way i'm deeply disappointed with Boeing . Is this how they have behaved with other Models in their Manufacture ?

I had read , from a CNN article , that once Boeing misses the delivery date of an AirLines order , by one year , the Airline can cancel that aircraft order , with-out financial penalty . Now that the Boeing has made aircraft for delivery , but haven't been able to deliver them since the Grounding on March 13th, 2019 , other airlines that have similar agreements may start to routinely cancel their orders as well . I would be interested to see how this shakes out .........Penny for your thoughts on this ........DGR
