In an early-morning post on Twitter, Trump, who owned the Trump Shuttle airline from 1989 to 1992 and is an aviation enthusiast, weighed in with his own advice. Trump issued the tweet as Boeing tries to restore trust in its fastest-selling jet, the main source of profits and cash at the Chicago-based planemaker which has won some 5,000 orders or around seven years of production for the aircraft.
Pilots are expected to play a major role in regaining public confidence in the aircraft, but Trump's tweet marks the first time the brand underpinning Boeing profits in coming years has been thrown into question at a high level.
