And you're suggesting Boeing is in trouble?"
Yes. I am. They might even have to cancel their B-747 program.
So, is that a good sign or a bad sign? A sign of financial strength?
I don't think it is, frankly. But then, I don't run Boeing. It may just be a sign of necessary market realities.
After delivering 1500 B747s, it's more like ending the program. That is almost as many Whales as BBD delivered of CRJs, all the while delivering 10,000 737s, 1831 B727s, almost a 1,000 B757s, perhaps 1300 B767, and, whew, 1100 B777s. To compare Boeing to BBD is silly. They're commercial division is head and shoulders above BBD and it's less than half of Boeing's annual turnover.
