Also IIRC there was a case before the Supreme Court where the dispute was whether shareholder value was the sole & supreme goal, or there could be other factors involved from other stakeholders (such as workers, the community, ...). The Supremes ruled for shareholder value. However I forget details of ths case. If anyone here happens to know what case I am referring to, please chime in.

You are probably thinking of the case described in GP, which is the decision of the Michigan Supreme Court on this issue.

I should have added, this was a case back in the 1980s.

No argument, no fallacy. Logic 101 son.

Again, not required.

Don't bother responding with another "no."

>Cute following up with a fallacy of your own. oh please. HN's bias is exactly the same as reddit's. -4 for posting facts, and fallacies. It couldn't be more obvious.

No, I'm just annoyed when someone bleats on about any fallacy and doesn't understand it. Your willingness to attack me in the same way is amusing though. 'You just think X' is silly. You know nothing.

At least you've dispensed with any possibility that you're discussing this in good faith. Your flagged comment was nonsensical, please spend some time reacquainting yourself with basic logic and the nuances of fallacies before embarrassing yourself again in the future.

I'm uninterested in your deviant proclivities.

Which is basically what I wrote.

No. You wrote something that read as if AA is looking to replace all Airbus equipment. That was replied to with clarification that AA is looking to replace some of the older Airbus equipment but clearly not all of it. Now, your retort reads as a smarty pants chiding at someone else implying you didn’t actually know everything and smarting from it.

My retort was quoting you. Besides, I wrote "mostly" focuses... That doesn't mean "only" focuses. "As if" is only in your mind by a mistaken interpretation. Please reread my original post, this time slowly. Good grief.

There was no way to raise the fuselage. That would require longer landing gear with no space in the wings to retract it, so it required new wings, leading to re-certifications of both the planes and the pilots and the associated costs. This grand-fathering of 737 is the reason it still does not have fly-by-wire in 2024: it simulates the antique original 737.

In retrospect maybe they should have based the MAX on the 757. It's more or less a stretched 737 with longer landing gear. Sounds perfect for installing those enormous engines.

There’s a thousand reasons why this not true and not a good idea.
