BRITAIN – Boeing (NYSE:BA) has once again delayed the schedule for its new 787 Dreamliner. The hold up comes after a test engine broke down while running an on-ground test in England earlier this month. Boeing and Rolls-Royce Group, the maker of the engine, declined to comment on the “uncontained failure.” When asked about the dangerous failure and the impact it could have on an in-air flight, or even to the company as a whole, a spokesperson declined to comment.
“Jeez! Can anyone take care of it?” Andy “Raw” Kibbens, co-CEO of The Markets Are Open commented on the disaster. “This needs to be fixed fast.”
A Boeing spokesman, Jim Proulx said that only Rolls-Royce would comment. However, after being telephoned by the co-CEO of The Markets Are Open himself, Allan Edwards, Rolls Royce failed to return his call.
“See if I help you again.” Said Edwards in despise after trying to find out more information about the matter, and lend his own expertise. “You want a piece of me?” Edwards shouted into the answering machine. He stood up and smashed one of his model planes on the floor of his office, “Take that!”
Boeing suggested that the new plane which was originally set for release in May 2008, may be pushed into 2011. US Airways declined to comment if they would want the plane or not after the incident.
Kenya Airways told Ait Transport World magazine that it might cancel its order for 9 Dreamliners and buy Airbus planes instead. An Airbus spokesperson taunted Boeing saying “Let’s see how you handle our new ships,” referring to Airbus’ new planes in Europe.
Shares or Boeing were up 3% on the day as investors held their breaths and bought the stock anyways after it was beaten down over the past week.
