Hey, everybody! Look what an individual I am.

Oof. You have awful taste.

Hahahaha give me a break. These companies have finance guys on the board. They aren’t lying for the government. And they are just one piece. Do you know where you can buy a 777? Boeing, an airline (or huge transportation company) and more often, a bank or a private equity firm (most planes are leased and aircraft…

All they mean by “attractive” is decent body and a nice face and guys want to bang her. Everybody understands this, yet you commenters will spill 500 comments over the definition of beauty.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha no. That is not how the aviation or aircraft finance industry works at all.

Thank god for one reasonable person. You seem to be the only other commenter who appreciates how the aviation industry works (and the number of parties that have an interest in every single plane). I’m positive the only reason they haven’t 100% confirmed has to do with liability or the French not wanting to deal with…

No. I work in aircraft finance. These things are registered so many different ways with regulators, banks, Boeing, rolls Royce etc. we just don’t lose track of them. I don’t think anyone nefarious would bother with a 777. I understand why people not in the industry might think it's possible, but it's lunacy of you…
