Arguably those people would be able to form new, competing, companies with their know-how and a degree of investment. They would, naturally, have to start out small and grow from there - but Boeing was tiny once, as was McDonald Douglass, Lockheed etc. etc.

- magduf 7y agoThey don't need to start out small and grow. If Boeing goes under, there's going to be a huge worldwide demand for large passenger aircraft that cannot be satisfied by the one large manufacturer left (Airbus). Simultaneously, there's going to be a couple of huge factories, plus engineers and technicians and other employees, and the supply chain that used to feed Boeing, all up for grabs. The simple solution is for either Airbus or a large Chinese company to buy up all the assets for dirt-cheap, or perhaps even a Japanese conglomerate, and get back to work building airplanes.
