IAG to cut capacity by 75% I hear on tv

If I were the people on here I’d be thinking about how do I get hold of a ration book. They’re printing them as you speak.
Wake up people.

I'm predicting this will be the bigger than the one day crash of 1987, the markets will be destroyed

Planes only make money when they are flying.

I agree entirely.Even if real infection numbers are 10 times the confirmed rate, it still means 99.9% of the population are unaffected and capable of going about their normal lives.But governments are sacrificing the livelihoods of the 99.9% for the 0.1%.And seem willing to crash the world economy rather than let the most vulnerable succumb to natural selection.People often ask 'What price a life?'.Seems it may be a billion dollars each.

What's the costs of a grounded air line ?

[smartie6] 16/3/2020 07:00

Bust. You all know it. Now asking for financial help from the government, save us, save us. Same twxts that despised the help given to banks.
Should have saved their money for a rainy day, capitalised their positions. What we must not do is bankrupt this country. Fail, nationalise, pick up the pieces later. The governments of the world cannot bailout every single industry. What makes you different to Flybe, they went down without support.

This isn't just about engineering. This is about regaining the confidence of the crews and the passengers. That, I fear will be much more difficult. I certainly wouldn't be happy getting on a Max8. They'd be better off doing the engineering work and rebranding the aircraft with a different name all together. At least that would take care of SOME of the passengers :-)

Boeing will rewire the stabilator control systems and avionics bays of all 800 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft rather than battle the FAA for an exemption.

Wiring rerouting will take about five days per airplane. In addition to the work in the tail, avionics boxes and shelving under the cabin have to be removed at 10 to 12 locations.

Boeing threw in the towel over the weekend and will start with the aircraft it has in storage in Seattle and Moses Lake, Washington. Aircraft that have already been delivered may be fixed when they get their new flight control software and are being readied for their return to service.

This could go to 50p or less before too long

They have really messed up this time, the world leaders, bringing on a world depression because they cannot accept that death can strike the weakest through a virus and that human progress is not invincible

[smartie6] 15/3/2020 23:03

Ftse now negative. Dow down 1100.

[milliecusto] 15/3/2020 22:50

Your actually giving him a platform in his ridiculous post

[milliecusto] 15/3/2020 22:50

More like 50p, why buy tomorrow, this is due to last 16 weeks

[m1k3y1] 15/3/2020 22:47

[dround87] 15/3/2020 22:46

Futures just waiting to see what happens I reckon

[loganair] 15/3/2020 22:46

m1 - The virus started in China, how ever it was the airlines that have caused the virus to become a world wide epidemic.

[sportbilly1976] 15/3/2020 22:45
