Boeing made better planes when they had to compete with McDonnell Douglas.
Once they bought them out and became a monopoly that was deemed ‘not a monopoly’ they had room to relax and replaced engineers with finance people.
This is what happens when finance people make aircraft.
- panick21_ 3y agoAirbus is much, much stronger competition then Douglas ever was.
- realusername 3y agoInternationally yes. In the US, Boeing has their guaranteed government contracts, it's not a market anymore.
- zeusk 3y agoThey are still competing defence contracts with Lockheed, General Dynamics and Northrop.

- zeusk 3y agoYou mean fighters and drones? Which are arguably quite more expensive than the transports or tankers
- panick21_ 3y agoThey are building the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus. That is the big refueler and they are gone build 100s of them in the coming years. They is very much competing in lots of different competition for lots things.
