With estimated $55m price set to balloon by 125%, 737 Max returns to Seattle production hub still wearing the colours of Xiamen Airlines

A Boeing jet intended for a Chinese airline landed back at the planemaker’s US production hub on Sunday, a victim of the tit-for-tat bilateral tariffs launched by Donald Trump.

The 737 MAX, which was meant for China’s Xiamen Airlines, landed at Seattle’s Boeing Field at 6.11pm, according to a Reuters witness. It was painted with Xiamen livery.

The jet, which made refuelling stops in Guam and Hawaii on its 5,000-mile (8,000-km) return journey, was one of several 737 MAX jets – Boeing’s bestselling model – that had been waiting at Boeing’s Zhoushan completion centre for final work and delivery.

Good. Let the tariffs start hurting the ones who control the money. I wonder how long Trump finds he can avoid consequences now that he’s fucking with rich people.

Yeah this certainly isn't going to plan.

Big tax cuts for the wealthy don't help them of the oligarch's companies start failing due to market forces.

Turns out simplistic easily-repeated talking points aren’t a plan

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's... A semblance of a plan, if you will.

All we need now is a 3" binder full of empty white pages to represent the volume of the concepts we have

I'm thinking Portugal's returning the Lockheed Martin units will cause an even bigger hit to their pocket change. With Germany and a tiny other country rethinking their orders and considering cancelling remaining shipments, it could dent the GDP a bit.

It’s a good time to be a ferry pilot, you can get paid twice now.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm curious if China has to pay the return shipping, or did it qualify for free returns.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

15% restocking fee, and store credit only

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

That's what you get for not checking the "Prime" checkbox when searching for a 737 on Amazon.

Hopefully they kept the packaging.

Chicklets if its OK with their mom.

Boeing: No receipt, no return. Sorry Mate.

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago

Seems China had kept and presented said recipe and succeeded in returning the product.

[–] wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's not how that works.

It's not how it works because China can make the whole global economy a very, very bad day for Boeing very, very easily, being one of the three geopolitical superpowers, a nuclear armed nation, and the largest manufacturer on the planet. Kind of like how a small shop can't say "No receipt, no return. Sorry Mate." to, say, Vladimir Putin's face, and expect to still be breathing the next week.

Does the deal come with gargling autocrat jizz or do you throw that in for free?

[–] wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

I'm just telling it the way it is. I said nothing about supporting it, but facts don't care whether I support them or not.
