Yeah it isn't. If you are a monopolist. If you are not a lack of safety culture is a gift to your competition: https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/01/10/airbus-shares-soar-to-record-high-as-boeing-faces-hard-landing-ahead https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/01/10/airbus-shares-s... That being said, I think the purchase of several commercial aircraft liners (and the pilot/crew training to go with it) is more than anything a true long term commitment. Safety is one thing, reliability is another. Boeings shtick always was to go for old and tested technology. That had some appeal. But nowadays you can't help but feel that Airbus went with the times and evolved what planes are while Boeing forgot how to do them.
