Fed up with the Boeing bashing. It’s a fine company with fantastic professionals, from the CEO to the guys that clean the floors at Renton or Boeing Field. Do you want Boeing to fail? Or do you all really want to sidestick for the rest of your days?
While I tend to believe that the guys that clean the floors at Renton are fantastic professionals, I am also sure that they are not Boeing employees.
Without the MAX it would have for sure been a side note to special intrest groups. However the MAX crisis is entirely home made and so is the scruntity BA is facing now. Nothing to be frustrated about.
I would hope other entities would learn from that but I'm sceptical.
I'm not sure how the side stick is related to that though. However I am sure that a competitor for AB will be found with or without side stick.
