Don't count on it, the government will bail them out if they drop further

I wouldn't be so sure. Government bailouts tend to happen because they're almost forces to. Where the economy can suffer greater loss without the bailout. Generally, in a scenario where a company or corporation has nestled itself into something the economy is dependent on. Of course what happens after that bailout is the bad part where it often seems nothing is done to alleviate the economy's dependency, nor is the actions of the body receiving the bailout regulated, monitored, or needing to pay it back.

I don't know how much dire a state the US economy would be in with Boeing missing or significantly damaged, but can't imagine it's perceived to be as bad as the crooked banks.

Edit: Oh, wait. The military is dependent on them. Yeah, there'd be a bailout lol

Boeing has MASSIVE government contracts, and does a ton for both the military and NASA. They're absolutely bailout material, as much as it hurts me to say.

I'm waiting for a condition of the bailout to be separating Boeing Defense from Boeing Aerospace, so the aerospace side can fail

Well looking at their income per sector commercial is the largest. And they probably split r&d across these sectors. So losing civil aviation probably would mean they can be less competitive as defense contractors.

BA is one of 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average used to measure the performance of the domestic market. It practically represents an entire sector but itself. The Fed will absolutely help BA
