The title is a bit click baity, but the point here is that Boeing isn't the one paying for the current shut down. The way the industry operates is that suppliers, like Spirit, don't get paid until 90 days after the airplane is del

Reminds me a bit of my great-grandfather. He bought his first tractor from my grandfather when my grandfather retired and auctioned off all of the farm and equipment. There's a lost Minnesota PBS documentary from the 50s/60s about
