But that aside, imho I see Boeing built one hell of a fleet in the 737, 747, 756 and 777.

However, the Boeing of today is like a 40 year old that just wants a paycheck and not a career.

Hence, scandals, waste, unwise planing base on school book theories, hesitancy and incompetence.
I am in the "If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going" camp, but in the highlighted case, Airbag beat the snot out of Boeing. The BA fleet is very very good... durable... logical systems and all that, but the commonality that Airbus has is an airline managers' wet dream.
