conditional toas what happens in the economy. it really looks like a nonevent, which provides a lot of potential for fireworks. peaked, time stocks they peter three months ago essentially during -- after an alphabet report in the run-up to the news fed meeting. >> i think luke probably jinxed it by saying it will be a nonevent. we know chairman powell will sometimes throw a term out there that freaks everyone out like midcycle adjustment. autopilot, and good example. for you, what will be the main thing that you are looking to learn about from the fed? >> we do you think the rate cut is a done deal. all eyes are going to be on the commentary. we think you will need the door open and make it data-dependent.

airlines that even if they stick with boeing, they are trying to extract not only compensation, but discounts on future orders. does that not become a concern for you in how you are reading this company? >> it is part of the mosaic. five-pointset aside million dollar -- $5.9 million to compensate airlines. if you have been all boeing fleet, that is posturing to try to get concessions elated to profits. boeing is going to be fine. airbus cannot possibly accommodate all orders. could the lose market share lead to airbus? yes, that is possible. boeing is going to be the largest are the second largest airbus manufacturer for decades. caroline: thank you very much indeed. a quick check on how we are moving in the post earnings word.
