- newsclues 3y agoIs 50% of services for the military?
- TrueDuality 3y agoProbably less. A lot of US military groups have dedicated personal for maintaining operational hardware including planes that are cross-trained at these large companies.
- newsclues 3y agoI think you’d be surprised how many civilians work on jets and how many parts the military goes through. Those dedicated personnel interact with contractors and don’t make their own parts.

- orwin 3y agoThe commands during air shows are mostly performative. Boeing probably wanted to cater middle east/asian investors in 2023. When Airbus launched the 320neo, they did the same, waiting months before announcing the commands to 'beat' Boeing during the Bourget, even though Boeing had more commands the 5+ following years.
