Lets all hope that the Max 10 quietly dies. That will start the process, the long process of saying good bye to an airplane that should have ended with 737-800 . Imagine if Boeing had put the full force of their ability into a clean sheet 100-200 seat common type jet starting back in 2008. My guess is that Airbus would be in a full fight for the single aisle market instead of owning it lock stock and barrel. It would have required humility, ingenuity, determination, integrity, honesty and hard work. All things that the once proud Boeing name used to stand for but have long been removed from the Boeing core values statement. Very fitting for a Seattle Chicago Arlington company.
