Me and one of my co-workers were talking about the unfortunate crash of the plane, a Boeing 737, over in Greece. Apparently it lost cabin pressure and all the people on board froze to death. Besides the fact that this seems like a very unpleasant way to die, freezing to death at 35,000 feet, we were wondering what the effect would be on Boeing's stock. With both of us being from Detroit, we like to root for the American guys over the foreign ones, so we have been happy as of late that Boeing has been kicking the crap out of Airbus. We were wondering if this would effect future orders of Boeing's new planes, or just lower their stock?
So what do all of you out there in Joeuser land think? Is this going to be a crises for Boeing, or will they come out smelling like roses.
We also came up with an idea for a new marketing idea for Boeing in light of recent events. They should point out that despite the fact that everyone on board was frozen, the autopilot worked for an hour and a half, with no input from humans and sub-zero tempreatures. I mean talk about a triumph of American engineering!
