@@crsvetteii1753 If this is just a trivial training matter (as you suggest in your comment) why are they still grounded? The 737 max attempt to prolong life of the 737 has some major design issues , the larger engines and more forward placement have changed almost all the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft ,leading Boeing to "fudge" the feel of the aircraft via software in an attempt to avoid the necessity of pilot re qualification. in engineering terms a "cludge" something that should never be done in aviation. recent e=mails show Boeing knew this before the two crashes. They gave false information to FAA at time of certification ,which only became apparent after the Lion Air crash regarding the operation of the MCAS system.

[@CityWhisperer]

@@crsvetteii1753 Boeing literally designed and built a new aircraft and sold it to numerous companies saying that it was basically the same 737 but only more efficient, without telling anyone about the MCAS system. It's not a "runaway trim" issue, you are fighting against the whole plane system that's trying to bring the plane down. Lies have a cost, and in this case that cost was the lives of 346 people.

[@Fitch93]

Actually, Boeing tried with the 737-600 and failed, to say that Boeing "marketed" the 717 is laughable. Boeing, essentially, did what Airbus has just done, merged with another manufacturer, McDonnell Douglas in this case, to get an already developed aircraft, in this case the C-17. In addition it also found itself saddled with another already completed aircraft, the MD-95, which had enough orders that they couldn't just cancel them. Their problem was it was also competing directly with their 737-600 and -700's. So they changed it's name to 717-200 and agreed to fulfill the orders, and gave it some token advertising. The vast majority of the 717's built were either already ordered as the MD-95 or were options on the same orders. This is the whole reason Delta went with the C-Series, there are only so many 717's and Boeing refuses to build more. So they had to find something in that size category. So basically, ALL of what you talked about with Boeing, is indeed it's own fault. They took a plane that would be dominating the so-called "regional market" and ran it into the ground out of pure spite, now that a worthy successor to that plane has shown up, they try to use their influence to get it locked out of the US market and it has backfired spectacularly.

[@francisdexaviermaurinus4695]

Boeing took control of McDonnell Douglas renamed their product, disband his engineering force, and slowly put to death the Line. Airbus will do the same with the CSeries despite is a better product. No reason for Europeans to developed the CS500, CS700 and CS900 (150, 170 and 190 passenger) versions. Technology just took a 50 years push back, Canadian Passenger Manufacturing got stagnated on what ever has, and Canadian Passenger Aircraft Development disapear in a blink of an eye.

[@wiltzu81]

It sad that Boeing ended the production and developement of B717. MD-95/B717 was very good reliable work horse. If I recall right, it was better than B737-600 and A318 with same amounth of passengers on 500-1000 nm missions when looking cost to operate. But I believe Boing had no real interest to build it nor really offer. They wanted to force SAS and Westjet etc. to buy 737-600 models.

[@cigmorfil4101]

Nate Sobol funny that - in other markets it's called a loss leader: you sell the first product at a loss to get it user tested and then make the profit later, profit which covers the initial loss. Plane dumping sounds more like they're trying to shift stock that won't sell as opposed to having to scrap it.

[@mattpotter8725]

I bet this is done by all smaller companies entering a market with a competitor that has almost a monopoly in all sectors of business. Give a taster to entice the consumer to buy the product at full price once it is proven. Ok, with planes the costs are much higher, but the principle is still the same.

[@gerryvandyk5551]

Yes, but it's only illegal because it's a foreign manufacturer. Boeing dumps product into the US airline market all the time, but because they're an American manufacturer it's perfectly 'legal'.

[@petep.2092]

@Constellation 2023 That cozy relationship you mention hasn’t been “displayed”, it is merely speculation published by the media, the people who are supposed to be informing us. But who informs the informers? On most technical or other complex issues the media don’t even have enough competence to vet their sources. As a result we’ve had baggage handlers being asked if they believe the 737 MAX is safe, an aircraft mechanic giving a thesis on how redundancy should be designed into an airplane system, financial investment advisors stating that an Angle of Attack indication is essential for pilots, and labor union leaders demanding that pilots get simulator training for an airplane that handles exactly the same as the airplane they are already trained for and for a system that the pilots do not turn on, cannot shut off, cannot immediately discern when it fails (and don’t need to), and-like many other similar “systems”-aren’t even aware of its existence. Even pilots have chimed in on how to design and certify airplanes. That’s like asking any driver on the street for their expertise on where to route the fuel lines on a car or how much wheel caster should be designed into the car’s steering system. And the input from that wild cadre of “aviation insiders” are published by the media as fact. There *IS* such a thing as “fake news” you know. You seem to be implying that the whole world grounded their fleet of 737 MAX because they had pinpointed something wrong on the airplane. They didn’t. They grounded them out of ignorance-not knowing for sure what caused the crashes, and with growing public pressure instigated by the media, they resorted to grounding them out of caution until they knew for sure. It had seemed from the Lion Air preliminary report that the pilots were inadequately trained. That’s unnerving to those who put their life in someone else’s hands every time they travel by air. The report also indicated that the flight crew of the penultimate flight handled identical circumstances and landed at their destination, but any reassurance air travelers may have got from that evaporated a few months later when it was discovered that those pilots were also not trained on basics and would have crashed if not for the serendipitous presence of another airline’s properly trained pilot on the flight deck. Then the Ethiopian crash. TWO accidents in a row, BOTH caused by airlines not adequately training their pilots..?!! It’s understandable that air travelers would refuse to consider that scenario to preserve their sanity. But the media hid all the facts related to pilot training-because otherwise they wouldn’t have a story of big bad evil corporate executives and their conspiracies with the government.

Update: Bombardier sold the Cseries programme completely. It is now 75% owned by Airbus with 25% remaining with Quebec (up from its 19% stake before the sale). The Cseries is now an Airbus product, thus it has been integrated into their naming scheme as the A220. In the meantime, Boeing realised the shortcoming in their portfolio and acquired an 80% share of Embraer's commercial segment selling the E-Jet. Also, the Cseries/A220 does in fact compete with Airbus's smaller A320 variants, which is believed to be the reason Airbus initially responded with price reductions and the updated A320neo lineup.

[@just4kiksXd]

Aeroponz It is straight up illegal to sell planes in the US from another country for below the cost to make the plane. This is for good reason too, to not undercut the US market. This really has little to do with subsidies. By the way, none of boeings commerical aircraft are subsidized by the government. Only their military aircraft are. So it's not even relevant.

[@planesandbikes7353]

All of Boeing is subsidized by the US government. Boeing shifts its risk and capital and revenues between divisions, so its heavily grotesquely subsidized military division essentially subsidizes the commercial planes. Plus local states and cities subsidize and give tax breaks to the Boeing plants and feeder companies. Boeing has not a leg to stand on in whining about Bombardier. The US consumer has reason to complain about dumping, but definitely not also-guilty Boeing.

[@just4kiksXd]

Planes and Bikes Military aircraft are incredibly expensive to develop. They have very little money, if any, from subsidies to use on their commercial aircraft. Boeing also doesn't sell planes below manufacturing costs for a loss, so yes they have every right to complain. At the end of the day that's what this is about. And big companies almost always get subsidies from cities and states, because those companies provide many jobs and revenue for the state which benefits the state. Right now Amazon is looking for another city to put a distribution center. Many cities are competing for this, offering subsidies to encourage Amazon to choose their city. That's how business works.
