I won't change your views. Old school guys have a hard time with globalization.
I'm sure Boeing has regrets about "their" handling of the program.
BTW, I haven't seen much change lately in Boeing's approved vendor list. Speaks volumes doesn't it. Whoever is screwing up isn't getting the boot. Wait............can Boeing give Boeing the boot?
Your idea of building more in-house would only serve to increase competitive advantage at Airbus.
Funny how they just rolled out an A320 produced in China. Why not just make them all in Toulouse?
Makes you wonder doesn't it?
Oligopolistic firms are heavily influenced by each other. And, for good reason!
You don't have to like outsourcing to survive. But, you do have to be good at it!
Peace.
