Dear airline executives. Boeing is attempting to prevent a new airliner option(one that happens to be quite a good product) from entering the market. The long term consequence for you is less options and higher prices. My suggestion for all executives starting today is to buy Airbus. Lets start first with the 747 line being killed off. Please order the A350 instead of 777(QANTAS would be a good first airline to do so). Please let it be known that billions of dollars are being lost by Boeing in orders lost.
The alternative is......being stuck with the duopoly forever.
Only the people paying the big bucks can have influence. Ryanair might be a good one to go the EasyJet fleet route. Airbusses seem to do well for EZ. Southwest might just be another one.
