Boeing is scum to me ever since they opened this case against Bombardier
How about you stop suing your competition who is actually using cutting edge technology, unlike building another aircraft using the same frame for the last 40 years.
Pathetic.

Same plane, mostly same cockpit, different winglets and motors. Makes the 30 yr old A320 family look and feel like the starship enterprise, which is pretty sad.
Still, it's hard to entirely blame Boeing for this... Too many 737 customers don't seem to want to pay the training and infrastructure bill, would rather buy 40 yr old design than send some of their pilots for a different type rating. Boeing gets a bad rap either way. Now they get criticized for selling a steampunk airplane, but if they told their customers that they'd have to buy a new design, they'd be blamed for the next coming apocalypse of airline training and overhead expenses.
A320 operators will get the same bad rap eventually when the next real evolution of cockpit design and system management comes out.
