Both made in South Carolina. But BMW quality is far higher. I love the 787. It’s possibly the best long distance jet imho. But you have to be persistently OCD in the manufacturing of its components and systems. That is clearly not happening right now.

They have the right to comment. But Its all about using the lawyers and marketing people to put the other guy down. Marketing politics. How would Boeing feel if Airbus objected to the Max's design deficiencies, been overruled and look what happened. Boeing has the 777X in progress. What could Airbus do to further delay a competitive aircraft? Karma isn't pretty.....and eye for an eye makes everyone blind....

The 777 version of the engine has a unique blade design not shared with other variants of the engine.

737/800/Max is just too close in passenger capacity to the 757 to make a new aircraft worth developing. A 787 Mini would probably compromise too much to be a player. So Boeing is stuck with its current aircraft until the debt millstone is released. Then what. 737 composite replacement providing more cargo space improving economics with better passenger profitability?

Why can't Boeing be proactive about this stuff......and fix it before it becomes a publicity issue?

One step away from Jetblue selling out to an inferior business.

its exactly as I predicted. Airlines walked from pre built aircraft and production slots, others picking up cheap aircraft. Can EEC dumping allegations be far behind?
