Get an Embraer :)

Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is best thought of as energy storage - and not a very efficient one at that. Electricity can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, but the process is currently anywhere from 70-80% efficient, meaning you lose 20-30% of the energy. Then also keep in mind hydrogen cells are between 40-60% efficient, which means you lose an additional 40-60% of the stored energy when the hydrogen is used. Hydrogen can be produced more efficiently from hydrocarbons (mostly natural gas), but this gets you back to using fossil fuels and still does not address the loss of energy at use time.

The US desperately needs a new aircraft manufacturer to compete with Boeing.

2:59 - Is that a Southwest or a Hooters airline stewardess uniform?

Hey South West, I'd rather fly on an old de-mothballed 727 than a brand new 737-MAX.

How is cloud seeding done? How much humidity is at cruising altitude?😼 You described solar radiation management. Shills be shillin😂

Weirdly, at one point Boeing acquired deHavilland Canada, killed off the DHC-6 Twin Otter and the Dash-7, and then sold it back to the Canadian government, who basically forced Bombardier to buy deHavilland, Canadair and LearJet.

Its unfortunate that lawmakers defined "machine gun" too narrowly. They should have banned "rapid fire" weapons set a maximum rate of fire allowed. Many gun ranges have rules against "rapid fire" no matter the design of your firearm. This is an admission from the gun community that rapid firing if any kind is a serious safety issue. If practice ranges can do this, we can do this as a nation.

I would love for someone competent to explain why Western airlines still buy Max airplanes to this day. Are they cheaper than their Airbus counterparts? What could possibly explain it?

You forgot to mention the engine problem with the A220 airbus Canadian product. Beautiful aircraft but the gears engine is a killer. More than 1000 engines are waiting for parts this means 500 planes grounded. Spirit have them as well as jetblue in their A320/321 neo/a220. Buying this is buying a problem. The best airline to buy will be JetBlue with good negotiation to get out of the bad planes.

I mean would be a stretch but allegiant air is also a candidate they could go for

)

Southwest would be fine, if they only interlined with other airlines.

the A380 may have been a flop in sales, but unlike Boeing has yet to crash.

For those saying the 737 is coming close to the end of its life the a320 isnt far behind the question is who will discontinue first and what will replace it the 737 is from the 60s and a320 is from the 80s.

In the US, a PPL currently costs 2-3x what you quoted.

Within IT the move to cloud-based service is much the same as what you talked about. That leaves the space for the mainframe (who all said would be dead 20 years ago) so vulnerable as it is not "sexy" to the new generations. I know of a few 70+ MF techs that cannot retire as there just is no new blood to take on the load.

If JetBlue could not buy Spirit, SWA has no chance buying anyone. Boeing bet it's entire future on SWA running the 737. If not for SWA, Boeing would have developed and rolled out a new single aisle, narrow body starting development in the mid-2000s. Instead they both got hooked on the relationship. Boeing for an easy way to sell a 60 year old airframe and propping up the business model of its customer. SWA for never diversifying it's risk away from an airframe and supplier because it got hooked on being the most efficient and hoping that it's supplier could continue eeking out incremental efficiency while never cleansheeting a new design. Both deserve each other on this one b/c both put too much faith in an aging tech when the rest of the world was breezing by.

Still the best commercial aircraft ever made (from a passenger perspective). It's nice to see all the positive comments from industry people as well.

Any news about malaysia airline MH370????????

So, they've been eating this industrial giant from within for 40 years, and now they are calling for someone to dial back things to where they were. Too late. The more parts in a machine, the greater probability one of them will fail. Wall Street's greed is the fatal part.

Boeing from being screwed to royally screwed. Congratulations 💀 If it wasn't for the Airbus-Boeing duopoly, Boeing would've gone bankrupt ten times by now

Could they buy Avelo?

paying 900€s a month and complain about people leaving. Who wood have guessed. Just pay people who are important to your company a competitive wage. Has worked every time so far.

can you pushback while parking brake is set? Or does the towlink neutralize the brake? couldn't see the step in the vid that brake was opened

Mentour 2018: Chearing for the MCAS although it killed people. Mentour 2024: " Is the MCAS dead for ever?". Cmon bro, did you just turn with the wind? Did you find yourself a pair of balls? Did you realize you where bleeding subscribers because of your corporate bias? What happened?

Throw money at this problem and it will go away. Also, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics will progressively make it cheaper and cheaper to support Highly Sophisticated Maintenance Operations

Boeing FKed over it's most important customer with the 7. Way to go, Idiots.

A Southwest/Alaska merger makes alotta sense in my opinion 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️💯💯💯

I have not had a single interview in well over six months despite all the shortages mentioned on the media. I have stopped looking as applying is a stressful and time consuming process on its own.

I have flown Breeze four times in the past two years, with all flights operated by the A220.

For a new CEO: anybody not from McDonnel Douglas is a start. Second requirement, not from Boeing...

Seems like they should buy (or partner with) Avelo and keep the name for the shorter point to point routes. Southwest ticket, operated by Avelo. They could retire planes from Southwest proper and Avelo could expertly rehab the older planes as they are already doing but on a larger scale. This seems like a good way to cover the gap until Southwest can get the new planes delivered from Boeing. The Avelo segment could become smaller as this happens but kept around if and where it makes sense, even if they start buying planes smaller than 737s for 1 hour flights in five years which is where you see planes typically operated by another airline for short routes.

Boeing needs a Mister Fixit. Not another MC Management type, or Darth Vader. We are not talking wash machines here, but airplanes which on a bad day can fall out of the sky. As has been expressed in several comments, the CEO (and Co) has to love airplanes. They have to respect the people on the floor. For them it's not a simple job, they are there because of their love for airplanes. The culture needs to change, take down all the posters, they are not needed, a waste of money. Building airplanes is a job to be taken seriously. That job has to be made easy, no politics or other management crap. Just concentrate on the job.

The beloved airbus.. Sparky the wonderjet! Smug Europeons.

Requiring accurate weight to be obtained and used for all flights performance calculations should be mandatory.

Speaking of G.E. this photo shoot didn't end well ... "On 8 June 1966, XB-70A No. 2 was in close formation with four other aircraft (an F-4 Phantom, an F-5, a T-38 Talon, and an F-104 Starfighter) for a photoshoot at the behest of General Electric, manufacturer of the engines of all five aircraft. A sixth aircraft, a Learjet 23, had been contracted by General Electric to photograph the formation." Search for the whole at Wikipedia...

If the government blocked the merger of Jet Blue and Spirit over concerns of lowering competition and raising ticket prices, I don't see how they could avoid doing the same for a potential Southwest and Breeze merger. Allowing it would seem like a double standard.

*Southwest should change their livery colors. their planes look so ugly*

Boeling is such a fantastic company. Government is the problem. God bless the heroes of Boeing.🇺🇸

I think boeing screwed the pooch chasing short term gains at the risk of long-term collapse. The chickens are now coming home roost, and the high stakes gamblers have already moved-on after sucking the soul out of its victim. Demands from the current stockholders will ensure even more risks and risky cutbacks while making impossible demands, meaning they are sure to drive it further into collapse. It’s a management problem they created, and they don’t have any idea how to fix it. It is beyond their pay grade, totally beyond their understanding. Can’t fix stupid. Understanding your product should be the prime directive, but they deal only in pie charts and unicorn farts. Skyliner for example, the icing on the cake. 😶 A man has got to “NO!” his inhibitions! 😂

Well there the end of Boeing now.

Once again we see the ineptness of Boeing. The A220 could have been their airframe, but instead of acquiring it, they made it so that Airbus would buy it. Now Boeings most loyal customer wants the A220.... BWahahahahaha

I don't think SWA should buy Breeze. Having to support two vastly different aircraft would destroy the thing that makes them special; which is flexibility and low cost. They'll probably hold out for the MAX7. But they may be using Breeze as a way to pressure Boeing for concessions.

Southwest almost killed their passengers recently 😂😂

Wait until January 2025. Breeze currently serves DFW Airport. Southwest cannot serve DFW before 2025 without giving up Love Field gates, which they won’t do voluntarily, as they treasure their near monopoly at that airport. (The 2025 changeover is due to the Wright Amendment, a good topic for another video.) Also, you can expect American Airlines to declare war, as they will do anything to protect their near monopoly at DFW. If some folks out there are wondering if these two airlines with huge networks would really dedicate this much effort to fighting over two specific North Central Texas airports, they’ve already spent the last 45 years doing just that, and I don’t see why they will bury the hatchet now.

@legaleagle

The airport was also used for high performance driving events. I've driven a couple of exotics to over 200 mph on the main runway (2009).

Embraer E2 195 is almost a perfect replacement for the Max-7. Don't know why it isn't getting the nod more, since depending on Boeing isn't wise, and Airbus is already at manufacturing capacity.
