@Sophie & Ken It can happen, but obviously not quickly or easily. If it has happened in the past, turning Boeing from a firm focused on its products to a financial outlet that only cares about stock price, it can do the reverse journey too.

Boeing must feel great from making Airbus the largest commercial aircraft manufacturer in the world. Boeing went from a company run by engineers to one being run by MBS’s who don’t know a screw from a bolt. Then they moved their corporate headquarters to Chicago from Everest creating a 1,500 mile gap between the people who design and make airplanes from the people who run the company. A completely STUPID move. Then the people in Chicago sold quality for money. The MAX is just the tip of the iceberg. Boeing is morally bankrupt and may well be financially bankrupt. Anyone remember what happened to GM and Chrysler? Question is, are the taxpayers going to be forced to reach into their wallets to bail out another morally bankrupt company?

[@islalikoma]

At this point, Boeing should probably scrap the 737 and develop a new airframe that will last them the next 30 to 50 years. All the Max can do for them now is buy them a few more years provided they get it off the ground again. If not, they might want to consider getting a license to build the A320 while they develop their new aircraft. Call it the B323 if you like. It's a win for Airbus as it will help clear their backlog, and it would be a humbling win for Boeing as it keeps their factories open and they gain experience with dealing with highly computerized airplanes. I'm sure Boeing pilots are not going to be all too happy about switching to Airbusses flight philosophy but imagine a future where airlines can change airplane manufacturers without having to extensively retrain their pilots in the same way us common folk can switch car brands.

While everything of this makes perfect sense and is explained in simple terms I must say that the Boeing 737MAX is just the *symptom* and not the underlying disease itself. What Boeing needs to do is not just to fix the 737MAX to flying status it must have a serious internal investigation in its own organization. Otherwise people will rightfully believe that the same kind of accountants are at the helm and the 737MAX was just the first warning. This isn't just some "faulty designed aircraft" but there's a whole organization and its pivotal decisions which brought the aircraft forward.

Seems a bit racist to me. Claiming that all-white companies cannot have issues is racist whether you like it or not. What more do non-white people destroy according to you? And I am guessing you are going to react hysterically to my response. But I cannot possibly fathom what kind of response you thought you would get, honestly :) The fact that you are just throwing it out there makes it seem like this is not your first time claiming that and that you are used to people patting you on the back for that claim.

State support of aircraft manufacture is no small issue. The US doesn't generally subsidize manufacturers, rightly or wrongly, and this is a competitive disadvantage which has slowly eroded Boeing's erstwhile huge advantage and perhaps forced it into the situation it finds itself now.

I agree. The problems in Boeing's safety culture run deep, as evidenced by the litany of egregious issues with the design of MCAS. I have no doubt that this culture pervades the company, and while they seem to have been fairly lucky with their corner-cutting so far, it doesn't make me comfortable, even if they can successfully patch the MAX.

[@B2BWide]

@Mentour Pilot: I am just a humble photographer and I have only half-educated guesses, but... In my opinion, Airbus definitely needs Boeing for several reasons. First of all, take a look on The Concorde, as one of a kind airplane, and its development. More to say, the lack of its development. As it had no competitor, there was no feedback, no comparable reference. Airbus has Boeing as a target to be better than that and a serious inspiration for directions of development, even though they take their philosophy well apart. As a photographer I cannot cite better than Canon and Nikon. Few years ago Nikon went nosedive into bankruptcy and it was a very danger that the iconic brand will vanish-and it was Canon that provided an enormous support to bring Nikon back. While Canon-fans and Nikon-fans have similar "brand war" like Boeing-fans and Airbus-fans, Mercedes-fans and BMW-fans, the companies are depending each other. Back in the history the first Canon cameras were manufactured by Nikon, they tried to surpass each other and made better and better things and I think that this latter is the key for these two aircraft manufacturers, too. Boeing is not like MacDonnald-Douglas just to be sipped in by Airbus, but the Most Valuable Competitor with all their different approach to development and problem solving that may light beacons and pointing at viable paths. Neither Embraer nor Sukhoi or Ilyushin or any other competitor is big enough to have that power to flare these beacons. But, of course, this is just a guesswork from a humble photographer who knows very little about airliner industry. :) Let me know it I am completely wrong.

[@carlosmatos9110]

that's the beauty of competition , one makes the other strong , it will become weaker if alone

[@desertpair2]

My humble guesswork is that your humble guesswork is right on target. Great analysis! I might have cited Ford Mustang vs Chevy Camaro as well. Is there any question that this fierce competition over the years has not only made the product(s) better, but that the two manufacturers have learned from each other. This excellent competition has also been very profitable: the pony car would probably have died long ago without the competition. On the other hand, Chevy also has the C8, a long-awaited $60,000 mid-engined sports car. I think the company's long history of competing against mid-engine supercars (in stock form costing several hundred thousands) and, indeed, a glance over the shoulder at the Ford GT40 and later incarnations, focused all of Chevrolet's considerable engineering talent on producing the world's first "affordable" (if around $65,000 can be called "affordable") mid-engined supercar. I also enjoyed your knowledge of the Nikon/Canon history and rivalry. As an old (and humble) former film photojournalist (and sometime landscape photographer who ventured into medium-format range-finder stuff), I found early digital cameras to be extremely unsatisfying. Now, I'm sick of taking pictures with an iPhone or a point-and-shoot. What is your recommendation for an old film photographer who wants to get back in with digital but doesn't want to spend more than $500 or $600? (Sorry this is so long!)

[@B2BWide]

@@desertpair2 It is really OFF HERE but I actually can't suggest you a fine digital one in this price range. Good DSLRs are phasing out as MILC cameras make share for themselves, so cheap DSLR is not exactly good, while good ones are really expensive. The same goes to MILC where Sony A7 newer versions are kings and Canon EOS R is said really good-but they are far from cheap and have their annoying backdraws like, well, electronic viewfinders. Does it tell something that along my 5D I just bought a Mamiya RB67 ProSD (yes, a 30 years old medium format SLR). But don't believe me as I am obsessed with sensor and film sizes. If I take control over myself I would look around the shelves where Sony a6000 and Panasonic Lumix DHC-G7 live. If your expectations are reasonable for that price point, a Canon Rebel T7 might be a good choice or perhaps a Nikon D5600 (though I am not happy with Nikon ergonomy-but this is matter of taste).

why is that companies like embraer and bombadier are not producing advanced and competitive jets like airbus and boeng ?

It’s a huge barrier to entry. It takes billions of dollars to develop and sell an aircraft like the A320NEO and airlines are unlikely to try out anything new.

They don't have enough capital to challenge airbus and boeing. It took airbus some decades to really start challenging boeing, and it was backed by european governments. I'd guess that embraer and bombadier simply don't have such backing.
