      The truly rich shareholder billionaires that could affect the price, not the measly millionaires, have their own chartered personal business jets. 20 mil can get you a starter jet that runs well, say 1m/year for pilot, copilot, and crew to be on call 24/7. Fuel expenses and runway time, all in all its cheap for them. The ones that want a brand new jet are spending a 60-100mm.

      No billionaire cares more about their non-existant demon tube travel than the profits. If they’re selling or shorting Boeing shares, it’s because of the public outrage, not their own fear of personal safety.
