Boeing: “All those damn regulations exist only to keep us out of the european market!”
The regulations: “Plane must fly safe”

That’s what the Boeing CEO keeps saying.
(Seriously, though, I’m done with the dad jokes, thanks for the ops!:)) )
1 yearWell, if you would actually focus on building planes that are safe to fly, maybe regulators in the EU would have a harder time objecting to your flying death-traps 🤦

Boeing is also a big military contractor. Speculatively, she might be referring to that part of the business primarily.

Well the EU is also trying to move away from US military suppliers since the US has become an unreliable partner. Imagine you buy US planes then Trump wakes up on the wrong side of the pillow one day and forbids export of spare parts for those planes. How you’re just fucked. Better to make your own or go for suppliers from another EU country.

Unfortunately EU being militarily autonomous is gonna take years if not decades ( but at least now we are on the right track )

We have to start one day anyway and I do not want Russian soldiers say „hello” at the houses of people in the EU (even when Ukraine joins) - without at least not having paid a terrible price for it.

Well, for that their only solution is to use their Central America regime change guidebook closer to home, and hope everyone forgets the US’s propensity to elect imperialist assholes.
I was just thinking about seeing this move in my How To Find A Scapegoat workbook.
Sure, it’s EU “closing off”. Meanwhile USA is literally building walls to keep people in the country from escaping.

lol at Boeing selling off their safety reputation long term for a quick profit injection and now they’re complaining that no-one will buy their death traps.

I just can’t get these people… Do they seriously believe the nonsense they’re spouting, or do they believe that we believe it?

They believe that their (head of) administration believes it and then uses their geopolitical leverage to ease their business.
And given that the administration led by a very dumb person, this might work out.
Fuck Boeing’s CEO. We don’t need their doors falling on our roofs mid-flight. Let’s strengthen existing European plane manufacturers and revive some we lost over the years like Fokker et al.
