Boeing better do something fast. Fast means fast. The perception is that boeing is going to not be a viable supplier of big airliners to the civilian market.

This article is full of BAD news for those of us who supply parts to Boeing.

No mention of Airbus's heavy government subsidies from the Frogs. Did I miss something?

Or small ones either. The 717 faces stiff competition not only from Airbus with the 100-seat A318, there are 90-seaters from Bombardier and Embraer coming into the market.

When Boeing execs chose Chicago over Dallas for their new headquarters location, I knew they couldn't last long. That kind of stupidity does not escape punishment.

Also, Airbus said they had sold about half the number of planes (A380) they need to break even and then said they make money on every plane. Sounds Clintonesque to me.

"Boeing better do something fast. Fast means fast. The perception is that boeing is going to not be a viable supplier of big airliners to the civilian market."

Hey! They are! They have moved their headquarters to Chicago, and are busily trying to coerce various states to subsidize their construction of the 7E7--ANYTHING except sticking to their core business of making better and cheaper airplanes.

It's called "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic", and is played by incompetent management everywhere.
