How does a failure look like? I mean, this is not a financial institution and in the case of a financial failure people who make planes, the machines they use and all the IP wouldn't disappear. The Boing might actually be too big to fail but their failure, IMHO, looks like what we have today: An inability to make high quality cutting edge aircraft. For the USA, the disaster would be to be reliant on EU/Russa/Brazil/Canada/China for conducting its transportation operations in this massive country. What happens if people start freaking out when their planes are not Airbus? Would increase in government contracts keeping the stocks and profits the same mitigate the problems? So maybe Boing has failed already, its just that its still institutionally solvent for one reason or another.
