> My napkin math seems to indicate this couldn't possibly cost Boeing more than $10-20k? Pretty small potatoes to such a large company.

Yeah they were losing billions through criminal negligence and delayed deliveries of the 737 Max, so a couple of tens of thousands for some well needed good PR is nothing. This is probably the first bit of it for multiple years now, with all the delays in the 777X, assembly quality issues of 787, etc.



It feels to me like a final swan song for the era, both corporate and economic, in which a project like the 747 was possible.


Yeah but they are also a major contributor to our breakaway UAP program with Lockheed - and also, the Horse fucking industry.

Almost feel bad for the guy if it weren't for the animal cruelty.
