Not saying they don’t. Just refuting the assertion that saving up for financial downturn is beyond their means

I’m not saying it isn’t. I think you’re looking at the wrong number. Look at profit margin.

If they are making profit they should be putting some of that aside for the inevetable downturns. I do as a small business owner whose profit margin is just as slim

What is theirs? 9%?

[sikofit]

Doesnt matter. If they can’t operate without being bailed out by the government every decade they need to change their business models

16 billion in profit. Yep they can afford it.

Wrong. They were doing fine. Their business model does not account for being shut down by the government. Nobodies does.

Does that mean everyone’s business gets bailed out? How much do I get for mine?

Who told you that is plenty of money? So that’s what? Maybe two billion for an averaged sized airline? Do you think that money would last more than a week or two? Based on what?

No rainy day fund for 6 months got it. But for workers tough ■■■■■

Even though workers need to “compete” too

You don’t like socialism anymore?

I’m glad you “got it.” Because nobody agrees with you that this is possible. The fares would have to be enormous to accomplish this. Nobody could fly.

Funny how that doesn’t apply to all those expendable workers

They could get rid of their dividend and CEO stock bonuses to start a cash reserve. Apple has a massive cash reserve.

Try finding a single post if mine advocating such. Also what we have is a bastardized, inbred version of socialism where the losses are shared but the gains are privatized. Even more bewildering is the people championing this idea are the same people who regularly demonize the “elitists”

They could. That might get them an extra hour or two of operating expenses

[ImRightYoureWrong]

Boeing has about 550million shares and declared recently a $8 dividend per share. That’s about $4.5 billion per year.

Over 10 years that’s almost $50bil.

Boeing’s annual operating expenses are about $80bil.

So, over 10 years by getting rid of their dividend, which wouldn’t affect consumers, they can establish a 6 month rainy day fund.

I win

The Republicans in Congress in crafting a bill that heavily favors the big corporations over the workers staffing them

Advocating socialism? Every vote you make, every step you take.

Boeing in not an airline.

You lose.
