    Stranded in Davos, Switzerland. What a hellish nightmare. I’m praying for Secretary Blinken’s safe and timely return. Give 'em hell, Tony!

    Stranded, but with a personal jet coming to pick him up. How terrible, hope he finds a way to get back.

      Can’t have Blinken stranded in the land of the Swiss shudder

      Don’t you know Switzerland is basically a Chinese pawn now?

    Something tells me Boeing isn’t getting that exception they asked for.

    Planes require lots of maintenance not sure why everyone is saying Boeing is the cause of this one. How old is the modified aircraft? If it’s a few months off the assembly line and it’s having maintenance issue that is grounding the aircraft then yea give Boeing some shit but airlines/operators have to take planes out of service all the time for maintenance, shoot even the military does it.

    I worked in Aerospace for a few years and the company I worked for did a lot of work for Boeing, mostly on the Apache program, Boeing definitely has its issues but maintenance issues are not a Boeing only issue.

      due to a critical error with his aircraft

      Which can mean 452,212 different things. This sort of thing happens all the time. People don’t notice because they fly commercial and another plane gets swapped in. Blinken came in one plane, not a fleet.

      Apologies for interrupting the “Boeing is the worst company in the history of forever” circle jerk.
