A big problem for Boeing right now is a lack of progress payments.

I completely disagree. The issue is outsourcing. I am a trained engineer and the composites are not the main issue. It is the outsourcing. I have many friends at Boeing in Wichita and Seattle and they all know what the issues are and so do the top brass. They are working to correct them.
On the A380 - How do you expect the 380 to be a money maker if no other operators select it? Please explain. Even Airbus is starting to say that the break even is north of 500 frames. The order book isn't even half that amount.
