Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines plane that made an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew off this year have started to receive letters from the F.B.I. identifying them as possible victims of a crime.
The letters are a sign that a criminal investigation the Justice Department has opened into Boeing, the manufacturer of the 737 Max 9 jet, is ramping up.
Their stock is still going strong tho. Defense contracts are a hell of a crutch.
I suspect people are expecting that they’ll get absolutely rinsed by various investigations then get a massive federal bailout cos they are too strategically important to allow them to go bankrupt
i dont think it will get to the need for bailouts. They will throw some low level management to the wolves then replace some execs. The regulators already gave them the ability to audit themselves.
They have a habbit of spending billions on stock buybacks to keep their prices high 🫠
Wake me when its time to short Boeing, maybe put some on Lockheed if they absorb their active defense divisions, lol
Iron triangle, soon a square with Elon
