The investigation is tied to an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Boeing also told a Senate panel that it cannot find a record of the work done on the Alaska plane.

      Nah, the door blowing off the airplane was world news. The 2 Boeing crashes a handful of years ago were world news. It’s a massive American company. The writing has been on the wall for a while.

      There was a documentary about Boeing that was very detailed and it was largely ignored. Oliver’s platform helped get the problem the attention it deserved.

      I suspect the explosive decompression caused by one of the doors flying off a plane mid-air might have been more directly responsible than the rapidly downsizing streaming service comedy show that decided to make a few jokes about it.

        The truly rich shareholder billionaires that could affect the price, not the measly millionaires, have their own chartered personal business jets. 20 mil can get you a starter jet that runs well, say 1m/year for pilot, copilot, and crew to be on call 24/7. Fuel expenses and runway time, all in all its cheap for them. The ones that want a brand new jet are spending a 60-100mm.

        No billionaire cares more about their non-existant demon tube travel than the profits. If they’re selling or shorting Boeing shares, it’s because of the public outrage, not their own fear of personal safety.
