Well I see you are in Florida and I am here in South East Asia.
Low cost operators are in a cut throat business in this part of the world.
Air Asia is one of the fastest growing among the loco’s and they are major Airbus buyers while Lionair are operating a mixed fleet.
It appears Lionair will cancel Boeing next followed by a raft of other buyers.
Vietjet and others are sitting on easily cancelled orders.
As for the 737 Max I imagine that Boeing will take a big financial hit trying to shift what is now a maligned aircraft.
As for your suggestion ‘it’s never good to bad mouth the other guy’ sadly that is what salespeople do all the time.
The bottom line here is that Boeing have been caught out by Airbus technology and in trying to catch up they have re engineered the Model T Ford.
The Chinese have got the Comac C919 which will be serious competition for the 727 Max.
Never dismiss Chinese technology. I have spent a large amount of time here over the last 20 years.
