You seem to assume they will magically get out of their rut for some reason. If cutting costs is the rut boeing is in, what will cause them to get out of it? For a poorly functioning company, bankruptcy is the usual, but mcdonell douglas and boeing are strategic assets, so bankruptcy isnt allowed, and they can take our tax money and deliver death.
- jmward01 3y agoAviation is in a rut. Boeing isn't all of aviation. Rut busting generally happens from something new. Electric aviation has all the hallmarks of that thing. Basically, everything about designing and operating an electric aircraft is at a lift-off point (pun only partially intended). We are nearing break-even at short distances and likely within a few years long distance aircraft will be possible. When that happens jet engines will die, quickly, and the entire economic structure of every part of aviation will change. (Don't bet on big airports and massive cattle car planes in that new world) This is a recipe for rut busting if I ever heard one. But I can (easily) be wrong and the change may come from other places. I highly doubt however that the change will come from Boeing. They aren't implementing the strategies needed to bust ruts in their practices so they aren't likely to be the source of the change and quite possibly will fail as a company when that change hits.
