ethiopia and what he said was that he felt that if the first crash had taken place in the us or the uk or canada where lives matter more than other places, his family would not have have died that you know, he after the first crash they were seen as as quote mere indonesians there was a moment in the there was a close door meeting that pilots at american had with the top executives at boeing and and the american pilots said this could have happened to us on a flight out of miami and it we would have dropped a plane in biscayne bay and then you would have had a real quote shitstorm and the american pilots that i think you know what i mean and that and the boeing executive answered i do. is there a chance the us eventually gets left behind and playing building by europe and then possibly china? there is although it's been such a strong duopoly for so many years and there are many analysts who are skeptical of another airplane builder including china entering the market china does have the advantage of having a huge market. the max is not flying in china yet and it also has the advantage
