787 battery fires too.

Ah, that's the game, then. List everything that ever happened in a Boeing product and use it to paint a damning picture, regardless of how relevant it might be. Very well, then. Carry on.

The 321 and neos “forced” Boeing into the inferior MAX design.

WHEN Airbus comes up with a successful single pilot jet airliner, I can’t wait to see Boeing’s rush job.

For a number of websites, including Boeing in the title is essentially clickbait as people want to know what failed this time. Boeing’s challenge is that the “narrative” is all about what they are doing wrong. Considering their two most profitable commercial product lines (73, 78) have spent significant time shut down by regulators in the last few years and the military and space divisions are struggling, the company is in trouble. It likely won’t go bankrupt, but airlines, investors, DoD, NASA, and the general public are curious when management will pull their heads out of their third point of contact and go back to being a reliable and steadily profitable enterprise.

I believe there's a bushing issue on the 787 as well. Boing is going to have to do a hard reset on how they approach aircraft design and engineering to regain the confidence they once had.

Airbus is trying to do that with the 321 freighter, allegedly.

With Boeing at double the revenue of Airbus, airbus didn't "force" Boeing into anything.

Are you saying the Max was not a direct response to the Neo? Airbus surprised Boeing with the Neo & Boeing felt they needed to respond in kind, lest they lose even more customers to Toulouse. The result was the Max. "Forced" may or may not be a bit of a strong term, but Boeing was certainly not in the narrowbody market driver's seat when they decided the Max was their way forward.

Perfect.

Money making workhorse with some ill fated mods. Sign a jaw dropping order or two. Wait for a bus hiccup.

According to the Seattle Times Boeing is in talks with banks to repurchase Spirit and make it an in-house facility again, owned by Boeing
