The entry-into-service of Boeing’s 777X is now not expected until 2027, another headache for airlines like Lufthansa, Emirates and Cathay that have invested heavily in the plane.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

Me, too!

“The Court’s conservative majority seems at times uncomfortable with the position that Trump has put it in. It has largely expressed this unease by being avoidant—focussing on ancillary technical issues … or deferring decisions to another day.”

Big news out of Boeing's St. Louis defense hub where members of IAM 837 just rejected a 4-year contract offer. There's a 7-day cooling-off period before a potential strike.

Tariffs Threaten to Make Boeing’s China Woes That Much Worse The jetmaker had been counting on sales to mainland airlines to fuel its recovery. That’s now in doubt.
