Let us, not forget why Phil and his friends left Boeing just a few months ago. That is right, you guessed it, because Boeing plays by the rules, and has never before, or will never again be involved in things that are illegal. Boeing for a long time has left the civil aviation market slip out of its hands, and now that they are behind they are crying foul play. Well I am sorry but it is their fault. When they went around destroying MD no one seemed to mind.
I do believe though that we need both Airbus and Boeing to exist in order to continue to have improvements in aviation. I do not believe that one or the other is better. They both have goods and bads, they just need to focus on making aircraft...
