With all the manufacturing issues surrounding Boeing why don't airlines invest more in other manufactures like Airbus?
because the entire airline industry is going to be demolished
>>1990658Expensive to retool/retrain your entire pilot roster and maintenance organization.
>>1990997You just want to kick up shit with that stupid graph
>>1990997Source? Genuine question, I am curious.
>>1990658They are, there's like a 1,000 plane backorder for A320NEO variants
>>1991015How so compared to Boeing?>>1991113why are they backorders though? Airbus has been around for awhile and doesn't have the issues like Boeing does?
both sides of the duopoly are shit. Boeing is The poster child for putting the cart before the horse and orienting their entire business around stock buybacks and suffering predictably for it.but airbus is also retarded, just perhaps in a less criminal and/or malevolent way. even Boeing, in the throes of some sort of actual collapse, is better at efficiently marshalling its resources and reading the market. EU industrial policy also wards off private investment interest and public coffers in Europe can only do so much when Germany is mired in stagflation hell.still overall I think Europe will be just fine and interventionist policies will pay off, but you will always have airbus gimped by its significant administrative and bureaucratic bloat.aviation needs competition from somewhere that isn’t china.
