[@nicholasmarshall9128]

While doing everything in house is ideal, I would suggest you look at the F-35 production which everything from final assembly to minor assembly and part production takes place around the world at many different suppliers and manufacturers. That shows it can be done assuming the suppliers can keep quality high at each of those locations. Plus if Boeing moved everything to in-house, the FAA would have to approve it, which given their keep oversight as of late they probably won't approve

[@rudivandoornegat2371]

Look at Bombardier, great product, sold out (yes yes, extenuating circumstances), and is now a shell of what it was only a couple years ago. Embraer is on the right track, if they stay independent. They’re the only major player in the large regional market besides now Airbus. Yes, Comac has one, but they’re selling like coffee in the desert.

[@MichaelWright-kl1uw]

This is the correct answer... Boeing now has the legacy of shortcuts and being business driven (rather than engineering driven). In all honesty Boeing should take the loss and take it as a wake up call. Quit trying to compete till their house is in order

​@@RM-el3gw and Embraer and the Brazilian Government are fighting against it on court to this day and to the bitter end. They see Boeing, for all intents and purposes, as bitter enemies after Boeing blamed Embraer as the cause of it not going ahead with the merger and Boeing started poaching their engineers. Not because they think they can get engineers back, but to show that such poaching practices would not be tolerated in Brazil. This point is specialy important to the government since all Brazilian aeronautics engineers and technicians in the country have their higher education and postgraduate studies and research funded by the government, there are clauses in their funding cont acts that if the person that had received such benefits from the Government wants to leave, it has to pay back the money invested on them, and it has to be inflation adjusted. The same can be said about factory workers, as the only schools that teaches how to work on the aviation industry are also funded by the government.

Of course it may not be able to compete with A220, but at least it didn't left Boeing with only 737 as their small option. It's such a darn shame that such opportunity missed.

New Boeing Mgmt opens door for Embraer erasing past experience. Dehydration reduces fluid around the brain (hangover). Many hours in a dry air plane at altitude is dehydrating as is alcohol consumption. Replacing brain fluid takes time so drink fluids before, during and after flying, especially if you drink alcohol. Water works quite well although I can't speak to adding other supplements. 3 million FF miles says so.

As a Brazilian, I pray to god that such acquisition doesn’t happen. There was excitement about growth and investment when the first deal was announced. Then they left the deal in a hostile manner, and the 737 Max debacle showed the world how Boeing’s corporate culture was toxic and dangerous. Embraer is one of few examples of modern and competitive Brazilian companies. One example that gives us pride. We don’t want a bunch of corrupt gringos destroying that. We have enough corruption and mismanagement in our plate elsewhere already.

[@chadgaitor4238]

it's a bad idea... if Boeing want anything to do with Embraer it should just pay Embraer to help them design a new aircraft or redesign my favorite the 757-200 into the 757-250ER... ER means Embraer Redesign... they can let Embraer build it for the US market in brazil facilities as the 757-250ER and then let Embraer sell the same aircraft outside the USA as the E-250 E2... plus like airbus the need to include the one system for all to their aircraft so i hope they can move all the Dreamliner avionics across the 737 platform and into my aircraft which is the redesign of the 757... so in theory the redesign 737 and a redesign 757 787 and 777 will all have the same flight platform...

[@lunarlake1]

It's really frustrating to see how the aviation industry is dominated by giants like Boeing and Airbus, especially when you consider how impressive Embraer's airplanes are in terms of performance and innovation. Embraer has consistently produced reliable and efficient aircraft, often outshining their competitors. However, it's disheartening to know that even with such a strong product lineup, Embraer's management is often overshadowed and outmaneuvered by the bigger players in the industry. The industry needs to recognize and support quality and innovation over sheer market power.

[@jantjarks7946]

Imagine airlines aiding the development of a new plane design competing with the 737. Demand for planes isn't going away anytime soon.

[@RM-el3gw]

lol this is such an airheaded rant.

[@xaif4888]

There’s multiple factors why this is the case but primarily it comes down to the larger companies having a wider range of products and also the power to get better deals within the supply chain. Airbus for example can offer airlines a wider range of products which can be consolidated into a single order thus offering more generous discounts. Bombardier only had the C Series to offer, so no such negotiation can be made. Similarly, Airbus produces significantly more aircraft than Bombardier and therefore buys significantly more raw materials. Bulk orders drive down cost. Also, the same materials are used across various programs, further driving down costs of the lower sellers such as the A330. In turn, this means Airbus can be more competitive and negotiate by dropping prices still at a profit for larger orders. It comes down to money at the end of the day, not really marketing power. Hence why sales of the A220 have leapt forward now that Airbus can drive down the manufacturing costs - it’s a very capable and efficient plane, but only at the right price!

[@andyvu4577]

In term of M&A, Embraer now can double the asking price (around $8b) for less stake (70% or less) if Boeing wants to renegotiate. On top of that, now BRICS countries are moving away from NATO nations which Brazilian government may not allow this deal happen in the future, IMHO

[@jose.lisboa]

I wouldn't like Boeing buying Embraer Commercial, just for the reasons you mentioned: Boeing ethos just seeks profit, and Embraer is doing pretty well after the divorce. And now, no one would like to get involved with Boeing. Why a company with an impeccable record would like to sell their very well-managed division, that produces great planes, to Boeing? On the contrary, this is THE MOMENT for Embraer to go and build a NB to compete directly with Boeing and Airbus. You said it: Brazil has lower labor costs, but doesn't mean lack of quality. They have a great upper hand here and the demand in the market is huge. The worst mistake in the history of Boeing was merging with McDonell Douglas and the culture change was so deep that going back to the track will be a monumental task. It would be more important to buy Spirit AeroSystems in the first place and bring back their headquarters to Seattle.

As a ramp agent, I think the E190 is one of the worst aircraft I have ever worked on. When comparing to similar sized aircraft, I prefer working on the A220, 717, and Dash 8 over E190. The amount of netting and the weight sensitivity of the aircraft can make it very difficult to load in a 40 minute turn.

They need to move their HQs where the investors are to get better insight on how to make the numbers.

They need to move their headquarters to where engineers, people directly responsible for designing and assembling Boeing aircraft, and the company's managers can have some direct contact with each other. Having Boeing's senior managers focusing on kissing up to and placating stockholders instead of carefully overseeing aircraft designing and manufacturing hasn't done much for the company.

Embraer has the potential to become a true giant in the industry. Why risk going down with Boeing?

[@RickTheClipper]

If Embraer waits a year or three, then they can take over the ruins of Boeing

Unions will not be budging on scope clauses.

Boeing's problems go far beyond what buying Embraer could fix!
