The number of outstanding shares came down by 25 per cent. On top of that, the 737 Max debacle happened, causes solely by mismanagement at the highest levels, has cost them billions in profits as well. And now they want a bailout. If anyone should be refused a cash infusion from the government, it's Boeing.

A strategic industry that must survive in some form for our own security. Bankruptcy with Stock and bondholders, taking the hit. US becomes creditor in bankruptcy , if no one else steps up. Moderate interest rates and some sort of warrants for their loan. No stock buy backs allowed until full loan repayment + 2 yrs. Limit on executive bonuses during same period.
