    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?

    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.
