Boeing are building tanks, now?

I hope they do a better job than they did with the 737 Max. No amount of Trump protectionism could have stopped that shit-show.

Software, not airframe, was the 737's problem.

I suspect the actual problem was an overly friendly relationship with the regulator.

Allegedly.

BTW, you do know the 737 has a lower crash rate than it's Airbus competitor?

The 737 may have. The 737 Max sure as heck doesn't.
