I criticised Airbus some years ago on this forum (PPRUNE, not this thread). I was taken to task and told that with the A350, Airbus had finally built a 'Boeing' and with the 787, Boeing had finally built an 'Airbus'. Such an engineering powerhouse Boeing but now a shadow of its former self. I stand corrected from back then, while the A350 has had some problems, they haven't included serious despatch reliability and battery fires. Sadly, Boeing let McD management take the helm before asking themselves why McD went broke in the first place.
It'd be like buying a bankrupt company, run into the ground by it's management then offering the job in the merged entity.
