Though the ChiCom’s COMAC is making some strides, the commercial passenger jet market has been a duopoly of Airbus and Boeing for quite a while. Obviously BA has to pay fair damages for any past negligence, but the hard truth is that it doesn’t make a lot of sense to try to put the U.S.’s only player out of business and turn Europe’s Airbus into a monopoly. But if you don’t like Boeing or are afraid of their planes, book a flight on an Airbus. They’re not hard to find.
Airbus is not as embedded in the American Deep State this is true. And the 737 MAX was actually Boeing’s rushed attempt to copy Airbus’ latest and greatest, leading to the poor engine placement that requires cumbersome software to offset! 🤦🏻♀️
Boeing - with its blatant control of the courts and our government through lobbying and payouts — is the reason capitalism gets a bad rap and more and more people are voting for outright socialists. So I blame them for the rise of the extreme Left.
