Tariffs

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

China’s orders only amount to less than one percent of Boeing‘s total orders. I think I’ve read they only have four planes they are waiting on for delivery.

HOW RUDE!!!

Don't destroy his BS narrative with the truth.

They still have a problem- Tails come from one country, wings from another, landing gear from another. And on and on. A tariff is paid on a LOT of the components on that plane. Since Airbus isn't built here, they won't be subject to the costs that the tariffs place on the same components Boeing planes will be. When airlines look to purchase, Airbus will have a significant price advantage.

That bullsh*t is so ridiculously overpriced anyway they can afford to lower the cost.

Maybe not having worked in a maintenance base you are unaware of how much they jack the price up and use government licensing as an excuse.

I have had a mechanic tell me they charge $1500 a foot for a piece of u shaped plastic.... $1500.... for a foot.... of PLASTIC.

F*cking ridiculous.

What does Wal-Mart sell them for?

Nice rant but still....every part in a Boeing jet will have a tariff on it. On Airbuses built in Europe, they won't. That's a big advantage.

Who cares?

Boeing is 40.6% of the market. They are going to get business regardless.

 

[Dog Wonder]

Good question. Why would someone working at Walmart care about Boeing market share.

Unless they own Boeing stock.

If an airline is looking to buy a Boeing or Airbus and the Boeing is loaded with tariffs - making their planes several billion more....should that airline buy the Boeing to keep Trump happy, or should they buy Airbus and use the savings to give their employees a raise?

Let me repeat myself dummy. Boeing is 40.6% of the market. They are not going anywhere.

I am not playing your "if" game. Either come at me with something that is actually happening or piss off.

There are more factors than just the price. How soon for delivery, some prefer a Boeing plane, engine type and availability, financing terms, givebacks, warranty, spare parts, maintenance contract

This could be intgeresting....I wonder if Southwest might opt for Airbus.

Okay...this isn't an if...it's real. There are no ships in our ports. The supply chain is slowing down. do you know the biggest cause of Bidenflation? Post Covid supply chain issues. But the whole world was shut down. But Trump is in the process of implementing a second supply chain problem. And the result will likely be "Trumpflation". So China not buying Boeing jets won't hurt us. But when the consumers want something, and there is not enough supply - prices rise. Breathe deep....and smell the greatness.

If that union busting bastard was against tarrifs then they must be a good thing.

 

[Dog Wonder]

That is a deep thought.
