Aviation Ping!....................
I wonder how many will fly into skyscrapers?
At least “Build Back Better” is working over there.
I was in sales operations for a long time and spent a lot of time on sales compensation plans. The biggest orders we got were in the $10 million rang.
I wonder how Boeing compensates the sales team for an order of this magnitude. The people on the team may not need to work again.
Hmmm . . . makes me wonder if they are going to dump the A380’s?
Since orders may be cancelled, I’d bet the sales team is compensated only when one flies out the door.............
Not necessarily, but they could sell them off to other airlines................
Yes, actual shipments trigger comp payments. It keeps people around, too.
Emirates has the best food and best stewardesses who are well trained in how to make passengers feel happy.
“The people on the team may not need to work again.”
I used to work with the main sales guy for the 787, back when he was an engineer in the Flight test calibration Lab.
I’m sure he is retired by now as am I.
While I have 5 acres with an ocean view in Hawaii, he probably has 50 and only spends winter here.

Yep. That sums it up.
I saw quite a few Big Dogs who could score like that. The Pareto Rule was always at work — the top 20% really carried the day with the majority of sales. The bottom 20% were gone every year. It was always amazing to watch how easy the top guys made it look, but they worked like dogs. The bottom guys could never figure it out. And all the folks in the middle made an ok living.
Deep State insiders will make yuge $ on this deal.
Just keep voting. Pretend it matters.
Sounds like some countries are electing not to abort their future generation(s)...
The send the best “stewardesses” to the tennis tournaments they sponsor.
I assume they’re just models pretending to be stewardesses…
Why did Emirates order 95 777-9’s? Reason: Airbus didn’t give a decent offer on updating the A380 fleet with new wings and engines. As such, Emirates will switch to flying the 777-9 on their most important routes and move their more cost-conscious customers to flydubai, which will start flying the 787-9 from Dubai the various US East Coast destinations.

The A380 was discontinued in 2021; https://www.drivespark.com/off-beat/airbus-a380-discontinued-reason-why-027600.html
That 777-9 plane has very narrow aisles and very narrow seats, and me and my wife had a very terrible time flying for 3 hrs between Dallas and Tampa. It was a chore navigating the narrow aisles and both my wife and I are thin. The seats were very uncomfortable with absolutely no elbow room and no clearance between our seats and those in front of us. Never again on a 777-9 or any other 777. Horrible!
