It's about a matter of time Boeing disappears, forcefully by the sole aspect of having every other country stop buying Boeing and buy Airbus only. American companies need to start learning that profit seeking has its limits when it comes to using a single sensor to recalibrate your plane or not installing bolts that make your plan doors fall off mid-flight. In fact, I find it pretty crazy, at all, that the 737 Max, turned out to be just a 737 that had been rehashed to support a much stronger engine via some incredibly complex mechanism of balancing their plane, as if mechanical systems never failed before. Planes are hard enough as they are, let alone cheapening out on designing a new airframe because you think you can get away with this sensor garbage.

Airbus can’t meet demand as it is, but it seems like a golden chance for an aircraft maker in Asia to enter the market more strongly.

>American companies need to start learning that profit seeking has its limits It has no limits when there's no competition. That's the situation Boeing is in right now: Airbus already has more orders than it can handle. All the Boeing customers defecting to them would only mean they won't get any new planes for 10+ years.

Even if Airbus could suddenly double capacity over night, a duopoly already is quite bad for consumers (aka airlines). They certainly don't want to create a monopoly.

>American companies need to start learning that profit seeking has its limits Why do only American companies need to learn this? And in the same response, explain why non-American companies haven't stopped buying Boeing, since it isn't for economic reasons (since they don't profit seek)

  China stopped buying Boeing, I think people want to label it as political but I think the only political aspect of it is them not openly calling out Boeing planes asjunk to not sour relationships further
