Boeing could become the next Lockheed, after the Tristar they exited the civil aircraft market and concentrated on military work.
When we’re all flying around in Airbus and Comac aircraft we’ll be telling the new F/Os about the Boeing aircraft we used to fly. Just like the old timers used to talk about Electras and L1011s.
A bit far fetched ? Possibly, get back to me in 30-40 years time.
