I couldn't be happier. Boeing really did make new American jobs, just happens to be jobs for their superior competitor. I hope they are really sad in Everett.
Many things Boeing don't make sense to me. Continuing to make an outdated airplane (Max).Splain. I believe Boeing is still top dog.
Well if they continue to fail at making attractive planes in all sectors, they will get the same subsidies that Chevrolet got when they were in bad shape. Why doesn't boeing make an airplane to compete in the cs100 or C300 space. They don't even have a plane to fly in this fight.I might be in the minority here, but while it does sound like Boeing is just whining here...if you really look at it I don't blame them at all. To my understanding the Canadian government subsidizes the hell out of those Bombardier jets, giving them a huge advantage over Boeing as far as sales price. Now I am not a commercial pilot and cannot explain quality or innovation or either company, but on sheer principle, Boeing is absolutely right to make a stink about this. Anyone feel free to correct anything I may be misunderstanding here, but if the Canadian government is footing a large amount of the production costs of the C series and dumping the planes in the US market, that's not right. I am under the impression Boeing does not receive such funding from the US government but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
My 2 cents

Perhaps Boeing prefers to take thing one step at a time rather than stick their neck out like Airbus has. Better to take things incrementally than exponentially. Being the leader of the pack sometimes only relieves you of the smell of the dog ahead of you. The scenery is still the same.
Boeing is also a defence contractor. Tell me they aren't subsidized.
And spare us the malarkey that these are different divisions and completely and utterly separated. If you believe that then you probably also believe Boeing actually makes a plane they bid for the Delta contract.

Not to mention the ridiculous tax breaks from WA State, while the same state royally screws small and medium business...
