Boeing up, Airbus down until times a changin'

The Kinks were not referring to Boeing and Airbus when they observed, "It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world...." but they could have been.

Earlier this decade, Boeing was bedeviled by multiple problems including the resignations of CEOs Phil Condit following an ethics scandal and Harry Stonecipher after an extramarital affair with a female executive.

But then Boeing plane sales picked up and its management settled down.

Meanwhile, European rival Airbus hit a bad patch with poor sales, financial penalties, stock-price crashes, top management resignations

Ready for bionic bride's return

The message I got from Elsbeth the other morning when I went down to fix my breakfast while she was poking around in the closet, trying to decide which of 97 tops to wear, was the remainder of a loaf of olive bread I found on the kitchen counter.

Do survey on airport noise

Re: the EMC third runway survey (Times/News, July 12).

Yes, I agree with CASE. The EMC survey on the local impact of the third Sea-Tac runway may be just a tad skewed. I'm plenty upset by both the potential increased noise and the endless line of dirt trucks.

How about if EMC does a survey on whether or not there should be a no-fly curfew at Sea-Tac. Every other major airport in the world has one. 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. sounds about right.
