Legitimate points about our management's competence or lack thereof. The fact remains our closest competitors, DAL and AAL, both have significant numbers of 737s on order. There's no anti-Airbus conspiracy, it's for financial reasons. Most of the shots taken at the 737 here are at least partially valid, but economics rule the day.
I would complain less about the 737 if Boeing would, after building 8000+ of them, figure out how to make a toilet seat stay up.
I'm told the real reason for the delay in the 787 program was Boeing had most of their engineers working on that very problem.
