WHY IS BA DUMPING THEIR 747s?

[747FOCAL]

Problem is, everybody around here thinks the 747 is the best plane flying and is impossible to improve on.

When a company like APB says we can improve this or any Boeing airplane by 6% the senior engineers all shoot it down as BS. The "Not invented here" scenario rings very hard around Boeing. Ask APB about all the working pains with the 737 winglets. I don't think Joe Clark would have ever signed up with Boeing if he would have known then what he knows now.
