Like what i keep telling everyone, Boeing sucks!!! They should just make "Loyal Wingman" drones for Australia.

Congrats to SpaceX too!
This is what happens when an engineering company is destroyed to create a business enterprise. Don't waste a micro second of your precious and short time on earth at Boeing.
Boeing has not been capable of successfully designing a clean sheet airplane for over 20 years. So that wasn't and isn't a realistic option.
Congrats Airbus! I guess when you make a product that speaks for itself as far as safety and engineering goes and consistently does what Airbus says it should do people will always want your product. When you lie and put profits above safety and are only concerned with the stock price ($148 and dropping) you deserve what you get.
Boeing is only committed to enriching their executives before selling off what little is remaining and declaring bankruptcy in February 2023. This is why they announced extensions of all their failed projects until after then.
Boeing doesn’t make these drones. A small company that Boeing purchased makes these drones. The only innovation and successful Boeing projects these days are from these small companies that Boeing purchases. But this is very short-term as all the competent and experienced people soon move on as soon as they get a taste of Boeing.
Companies are only buying Boeing airplanes because they cannot get an airbus airplane in the timeframe they need. When airbus ramps up their production like they are planning to it’s going to really hurt boeing business.
When both airplanes are available in the same timeframe most companies choose airbus. Boeing only had the lead in aircraft sales because they had the best safety reputation. Now people don’t believe Boeing is as committed to safety as it’s pretty obvious to they are mainly committed to profit. Jim McNerney destroyed this company with his push to do the 737 max instead of a clean sheet replacement. I don’t think Boeing can recover from that. The 737 was their most profitable airplane.
