Emirates Seeks Faster Airbus A350 Deliveries Amid Boeing Delays
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/emirates-seeks-faster-airbus-a350-deliveries-amid-boeing-delays-1.1781334

Gulf carrier Emirates said it’s in talks to take delivery of A350 wide-body jets
ordered from Airbus SE over a shorter period amid continuing uncertainty
around the handover of Boeing Co.’s delayed 777X model.

With the American plane now not due to commence deliveries until 2025,
Dubai-based Emirates is looking to accelerate A350 arrivals once the first
example from a 50-strong order is shipped, most likely in late summer 2024,
Tim Clark, the airline’s president, said Monday in Doha.

Boeing mending 737 supply chain issues, downplays A321XLR threat

The company is also downplaying competitive pressure posed by
Airbus’s A321XLR, saying that aircraft occupies a niche and that the
737 Max has broader appeal.

Is Hunter In-Charge?

That parts distribution place in Dallas is a well-known joke in the industry. They have always been a PITA to do business with. Like the other posts said, you order stuff and its immediately put on backorder with nothing but excuses and bad dates.

When you try and order anything from that place in Dallas, you never get any parts, all you get is excuses and broken promise dates.

The Boeing Parts Distribution center in Dallas is a joke. That place redefines the words "lazy" and "incompetent". A warehouse in 1850 was organized better than this place. Any buyer for this half-axed operation would basically need to start from scratch by firing about 95% of the slugs there.

Is the Boeing parts distribution center at DFW up for sale?

Down 27% In A Month, Will Boeing Stock See Even Lower Levels?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2022/05/31/down-27-in-a-month-will-boeing-stock-see-even-lower-levels/?sh=37a6beed7949

Boeing Stock has fallen 27% in a month, while it’s down 39% YTD.
Much of this fall came after the company reported downbeat Q1 results
earlier this month.
The company reported an 8% y-o-y decline in sales, and its loss widened.
Both - commercial airplanes, and defense and space businesses - saw lower sales
compared to the prior-year quarter.
Furthermore, recently the stock came under pressure after a media report on a
delay of six to eight weeks due to supply chain disruptions and labor issues
from jet engine maker CFM International surfaced.

Hidden From All
Is the issue of the 400 Max Aircraft produced during the grounding_???
The added cost of storage with maintenance then bringing those planes
Back up to flight readiness, results in 400 aircraft being sold at a lose.
The Quiet Loses...

I am not an employee byt here are my 2c:

• Boeing is clearly abandoning the Pacific Northwest.

• The headquarers move to Chicago seemed to signal the end of the company as we knew it.

• Good judgement went out the window.

• What took a century to build is crumbling fast.

• Too bad.

A HUGE reason people are choosing Airbus is the "total package"; Total Cost of Ownership. Boeing still cannot manage to integrate hundreds of software applications that manage aircraft fleets. Imagine being a customer told your airline will need 100+ software applications to manage the fleet, scheduling, maintenance, etc. The cost of that is ridiculous and very confusing.

Airbus wasn't that much better a few years ago but they have made progress lately that Boeing has not. Worse yet, Boeing has had several large efforts they bragged about for managing fleets to be more cost effective but those efforts have all since failed. Those efforts also created even more confusion as orphaned web sites/pages from those efforts still remain.

Customer don't care about your 'diversity'; they want high quality all the time.

Boeing Downplays 777X Cancellation Risk Despite Five-Year Delay

(Boeing’s ministry of disinformation at work)

(Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. said customers for its much delayed 777X jet
are standing by orders for the wide-body model even after it was revealed that
the program has slipped five years behind schedule.

While Boeing has held talks to update buyers, feedback so far has stopped short
of moves to walk away from the 777X, Darren Hulst, the manufacturer’s
vice president for commercial marketing, said Tuesday in an interview.

“Each one of our discussions with customers, obviously, is between us,
but I haven’t heard of any specific desire to cancel,” Hulst said.
That’s partly because many customers are buying the 777X in preparation for
fleet-renewal programs that will become more pressing later in the decade,
he said with a grin as he wiped off his chin.

Good point @3ptg
I had forgot about the Boeing Board dominating the Global Sսck Factor

Moving to DC so they can suck off FAA regulators I'm sure.

I dunno I could see bankruptcy announcement happening before next year. Might explain why they suddenly moved headquarters to DC.

Boeing’s Max 10 Regulatory Delays Threaten $16 Billion Fraud Bonanza
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/boeing-s-max-10-regulatory-delays-threaten-16-billion-bonanza-1.1763123

Regulatory delays are bogging down the launch of Boeing’s newest lawn dart
with an estimated $16 billion in potential orders, threatening the
plane maker’s comeback in the critical market for midsize jets.
With Airbus holding a very lopsided sales lead in.
Repairing relations with regulators and lawmakers is crucial for Boeing as it
shifts headquarters to the nation’s capitol in an effort to sսck-up.

The 737 Max 10 is its next entrant to the hottest segment of the travel market:
Narrow-body jets that can haul 230 travelers across the country.
But it is also among the first jets to undergo a more rigorous certification after
Congress bolstered the Federal Aviation Administration’s authority in the aftermath
Of Boeing’s fraud that resulted in two fatal Max cѕasҺes in 2018 and 2019.

This largest segment of the travel market has also been one that Boeing has
Ignored since 1984 with the Airbus launch of their A320.
Choosing instead to rest on their hubris filled past rather than offering a
Modern passenger jet to compete in this largest of travel sectors.

Wouldn't want to have any Alaska, American, Southwest or United airline stock either.

Not much valuable assets left to sell off. Moving to DC for more convenient negotiations of short term federal bailout protection for the few remaining critical military products. Then the bankruptcy announcement early next year. Don’t ask me how I know this.

https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/
The Ford Pinto
became infamous in the 1970s for bursting into flames if its gas tank was ruptured
in a collision.
The lawsuits brought by injured people and their survivors uncovered how the
company rushed the Pinto through production and onto the market.

In 1972, a Ford Pinto driven by Lilly Gray stalled as she entered a merge lane
on a California freeway.
Her Pinto was rear-ended by another car traveling about thirty miles per hour.
The Pinto's gas tank ruptured, releasing gasoline vapors that quickly spread to
the passenger compartment.
A spark ignited the mixture, and the Pinto exploded in a ball of fire.

Gray diҽd a few hours later. Her passenger, thirteen-year-old Richard Grimshaw,
suffered disfiguring burns and had to endure dozens of operations.
He underwent surgery to graft a new ear and nose using skin from the few
unscarred portions of his body.

Boeing can no longer competitively develop a new airplane. Certaily not in less than 10 years. Boeing no longer has the experience or talent. Boeing traded that to be so a called large scale integrator ("out source everything ) and become a business enterprise ("do more with less") instead of lowly engineering company. Boeing can't do anything anymore that isn't grossly over-budget, over-schedule that performs well and safely.

The worst is yet to come. Our buses ramping up the production of the A321 to 60+ aircraft a month. Even during the 737 hey day before the max crisis they’re only doing about 40 a month. The demand for new aircraft has not increased that much is simple the fact that customers are choosing airbus instead of Boeing. Hard times at Boeing are just beginning. Even if Boeing started today with a new design for a 737 replacement it would take eight years before they could put it in production.

When you realize for the first time, you booked a flight on a Boeing 737

Growth is no longer in the further for Boeing; in fact, we are still contracting.
No new customers, if fact the old customers are switching to Airbus.
Coved has nothing to do with that, inferior products do.
Another issue is the incontrovertible fact of a
diseased and dysfunctional management who only attribute is dishonesty.
