That's the old method. The new method is to create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

When you stop being an engineering firm and become a marketing firm, that's why Boeing is where it is.

If they had the balls to say no to Southwest and Ryanair and build a 797, they wouldn't be in this mess at all. All of this stems from holding onto the 737 design for far too long.
