US President Thanks India's Spicejet for $22 Billion Order from Boeing

Submitted
 
US President Donald Trump on Monday thanked Gurgaon-based budget carrier SpiceJet for placing a large order for aircraft from American multinational Boeing. The order would create thousands of jobs in the US, Trump said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House in Washington DC on Monday, where the US President praised PM Modi+ for his efforts back home, saying he's doing a "great job". "Economically, India is doing very… (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) More...

boeing has filled orders from all over the world for various types of aircraft for years and years..the fact that an order was placed has nothing whatever to do with donald trump, nor his political rhetoric..its more a matter of the needs of a particular carrier, such as spicejet,and the pricing or deal they were able to obtain from boeing..I believe the contract was in progress before the trump administration came into office was it not?

That's a little harsh. You may like other manufacturers better. But, I'm thankful that Ajay Singh ordered from Boeing.

Jeff chill out with the Liberal hate. The President is grateful for a country that has helped in a BIG way both Boeing and thus Americans. How is that worth your hate? American is what is important not your political views.
Advice, your hate will consume you, let it go.

The problem is, Trump said things a few months ago in order to hurt Boeing stocks. Why? Because an exec said something the man baby doesn't like. Sure it's good Boeing got the contract, but 45 should be ashamed of what he did.

Boeing got the contract started last year and finalized in January...I think Jeff said what he did and the way he did because the way it was written and gloated over, makes it look like The Donald got the contract done

Not so much hate as a reasonable observation.

If you are still butt-hurt, and haven't accepted the fact Trump is our president, keep the hate to yourself. If you are also butt-hurt and ddon't accept the fact Spicejet chose Boeing instead of Scarebus, Flightaware isn't the place for you!

That's what it's all about right? The election. Never mind actually governing the country with any level of expertise, right? Trump won! You suck!

That's stupid, and it's the whole reason people didn't want this child to be president in the first place.

Ya? The 3 years I've been a member vs. the 2 years you've been a member and you try and tell me I don't belong here? Don't try turning this around on me! I was trying to make a point and I accidentally typed "Scarebus" instead of "Airbus" by force of habit. I haven't kicked this habit yet bud so don't try and make this a serious issue. Please carry on with more important things in life!

You didn't "accidently" type "Scarebus" and this isn't a political forum...I couldn't give a rats butt if you were here for 50 years!

Who the hell do you think you are to say I didn't ""accidentally" type "Scarebus""? You do not know that for a fact do you!? Do you have evidence to prove it wasn't an accident? Doubt it! Cause all you do (and are probably good at) is make false accusations. And congratulations for pointing that "this isn't a political forum"! Way to point out the freaking obvious! Would you like a cookie for your pointless achievement? Low life!

Get off the pot and stop acting like Captain Fantastic...if its so freaking obvious, then why all the rukus..and I am me for saying you DIDN'T accidently type Scarebus..because if you had realized you ACCIDENTLY typed Scarebus, you would have admitted it directly after the post, NOT when I confronted it and not carried on such a huge crap show...oh..and thanks for correcting my mistake where I left the h out of "where"...and idiotic insults aren't necessary!

If you are seriously telling me to admit that I ACCIDENTALLY typed "Scarebus" instead of "Airbus" in my original comment, you are literally one to talk! Look back at your comment and see how you spelled "ACCIDENTALLY" and "RUCKUS"! Next time, you should check your spelling of the word "ACCIDENTALLY" and "RUCKUS" before you decide to continue to be a keyboard warrior and call me out on my crap! You should probably admit that you can't spell if anything! Maybe you should comment on your mistake like you are trying to tell me to do instead of having someone else confront someone about their mistake, again, like you are trying to tell me to do! And I'm man enough to admit I did the same where you incorrectly misspelled "WHERE". But in my case, mine was for good, not to accuse someone! Maybe, just maybe, this "RUCKUS", or this "huge crap show" started because you accused me of not admitting that I ACCIDENTALLY typed "Scarebus" instead of "Airbus"! Like you say in your comment, "I am me for saying you DIDN'T "ACCIDENTALLY" type "Scarebus"", "I AM ME" for using these so called "idiotic insults" like I did! And to add, "I AM ME" if I did not choose to admit that I accidentally typed "Scarebus" in the beginning! Just to make you happy, I'll admit now, I accidentally typed "Scarebus" instead of "Airbus". You happy now sport? Now, for someone to say something as immature as "Get off the pot" shows that you clearly can't think of something mature an adult would say, like "Get off the soapbox"! Just to clarify, I have never used or abused any sort of drug in my life! And for you to accuse me of being on pot actually hurts and takes me back to the day that my own father overdosed on drugs (which will not be named), watched him collapse to the floor, get taken out of the house by stretcher, then hear from my own mother he died at the hospital when I was little! Does that make sense?! Now you can't accuse me of doing drugs either! And I am not trying to act like "Captain Fantastic" like you, again, are accusing me of! I was just trying to say that I accidentally typed "Scarebus"! But here you come acting all tough behind your computer screen to say that I didn't! Yes, maybe I should have corrected myself in the beginning. I will admit it again, I accidentally typed "Scarebus" instead of "Airbus"! What are you man enough to admit huh? Absolutely nothing because you have nothing to admit! You probably won't even admit the fact that you cannot spell! You got that champ? Next time before you decide to try and call me out on my crap, think twice about what you are going to say and how you are going to spell it! If I were you, I would take a good long look at yourself in the mirror and see what kind of person you really are before getting back onto the computer and responding! Have a good night!

First I will admit, looking back, that I spelled wrong...2nd I look in the mirror everyday...3rd, I made 1 little comment to partially protect another poster, and you come at me with guns blazing then go on a tangent, with what amounts to almost 1/2 a book, coming at me...obviously, you don't sayings of a "mature" adult as "Get off the pot", "Shit or get off the Pot" etc are sayings that have been around for a very long time, not a thing to do with anything about drugs..so before you go off on another tangent at someone, because you can't admit a mistake or don't agree with someone's opinion, and someone asks you to stop with the idiot insults, stop and look in the mirror yourself!..ohh and if you read back my previous comment, and this comment, I admitted to making spelling mistakes and at least was "mature" enough to admit it and say thanks for the corrections!
P.S. Thanks also for the negative votes and you have a great life!

Like you claim to look at yourself in the mirror everyday, I actually look at myself in the mirror everyday! So again, do not try and turn this around on me! You never admitted to anything until this comment! So do not try and lying about you admitting to having spelling problems in your previous comments cause you never did! I actually admitted my comment was an accident (if you clearly did not see that), so, again, don't try and say I never admitted because I DID! Also, I did not go off on any tangent when you mentioned weed! I take accusations very seriously for obvious reasons stated in my previous comment! So, once again, do not try and say I went off on any tangent because I never did! To add, if you knew you had spelling problems in your comments, you would have said something! Like you told me to do with "Scarebus"! Understand?! And not only do you have a problem spelling, it seems you also have problems with grammar and capitalization. "obviously, you don't sayings of a "mature" adult" doesn't make any sense. I have taken the liberty to correct your grammar and capitalization from that part of your comment to reflect a comment that a mature adult would post.
"Obviously, you don't "KNOW" sayings of a "mature" adult". You can probably do the rest for your other comments. Thanks for coming out! Happy trolling! Lol

Jeff...Your comments are rather vague of why u felt this way and made you look like the idiot. That being said, that Spicejet deal was bargained for last year, originally with 55 737 Max ordered, then another 100 737 Max were ordered and pricing on the original 55 renegotiated, with option for 50 more Boeings including 777 and 787..the final deal was signed in January this year.
Im still scratching my head trying to figure out were the 132,000 new jobs are.
