Airbus started with little expertise and acquired it via design centers in Europe, Canada, India and US. Boeing had much expertise and dumped it and lost many lives for Boeing executive wealth generation. Two very different approaches. Wonder which one will be more successful...
@1cfo+1qHfc7FB hits the nail on the head.
The real differences Airbus is run by a consortium of countries who exist in order to provide employment in the EU.
Boeing exist to enrich the CEO, board and shareholders.
Boeing makes decisions based on how much money they can pay themselves in bonuses.
Airbus makes decisions based on what is best for the company and for the employees.
More like break up and flip Boeing.
Flip a coin.
