RE: Airbus And Boeing Heading In Separate Directions
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Boeing left Seattle and established their Chicago headquarters, then they moved assembly to cheaper production states from the state of Washington. Then they outsourced a lot of manufacturing abroad... all that resulted in supply chain complexities and quality issues. They were trying to please investors and as a result really hit their timelines and quality. Nothing is free...
Having said that I would also like to point out that Airbus doing radically new designs is not necessarily a great thing, there is a lot of risk associated with drastically new tech. And risk is not what you want in airline industry...

I think Boeing have been so much on the back foot as a business they are so far behind the curveball these days. New tech is what drives the industry forward and Boeing run the risk of being left behind big time. The new wings technology has been in development for 6 years so if they can develop this then we all benefit. I am just a bit shocked how far Boeing has dropped with regard to their standards and customers to say no new models is rather telling of how bad Boeing has become. The entire business looks as though it has been poorly run and when they turned to dei hiring they shot themselves in the foot. There is no confidence or lets say the confidence is low when flying in a Boeing plane. I know people who refuse to fly in the 737 max and double check before they book their fights.
I don't think it is in any way related to Diversity and Inclusion hiring as much as it is related to hiring lower skill work force in South Carolina so that they have to pay less than Washington State skilled workforce demands.
That is actually quite shocking what they did and it is no wonder the standards dropped.
