“At present, sales of the 380 are ~2x that of the 747-8.”
what about next month? The market for the 380 just isn’t as large. There are only so many airports which can handle the 380.
Kinda curious as to why you are so down on Boeing. Is it because Airbus lost the Air Force contract.
I WANT Boeing to succeed. Period, end of story.
I just see that they have miserable managment. They seem to be curling up in a ball, instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and charging in. When it comes to inguinity, NO ONE beats Americans - but here we are, sitting back and watching Canadian Regional Jets walk away with the small aircraft without so much as even a battle.
Then I watch Discovery and see the show that Airbus put out on the building of their 380 - and I look at Boeing, and I see the same attitude that caused the American auto industry fall to the bottom of the barrel.
Even Korea is building a better car than we are. We should be cleaning house - but America seems to have settled for the lower rung of mediocrity. And it p*sses me off.
