&gt; Because $BA is Too Big To Fail.  
  
 Boeing isn't a bank.  There are things that can happen to it that are very different from 'failing', while simultaneously presenting a significant impairment of capital (the somewhat obscure definition of 'bag holding a blue chip').

 I've defended why BA is Too Big To Fail.  To sum it up, it has to do with the amount of jobs that would be lost, and the DOD literally, and physically cannot operate without them, makes the notion of BA going under a national security threat.
