Boeing Scores Zero Orders During April As 737 MAX Crisis Continues
Boeing Commercial Airplanes did not sell a single aircraft during the month of April. The airplane manufacturer is facing the most difficult time in its 103-year history. The first quarter of 2019 has been quite traumatic for the American planemaker, which is trying to mitigate a damaged reputation for the two deadly crashes of its newest narrowbody aircraft type, the Boeing 737 MAX 8. Comparing head-to-head, Boeing claims that this year it has received about 119 fewer orders than in 2018. In… (airwaysmag.com) 기타...

Excellent point. They had nothing to fall back in the market after the Paris crash of Turkish Airlines. They tried to roll the dice with the MD11. That died and Boeing came along and took over McD. That left Boeing with the primary keys to the industry until Airbus ruined this private unchallenged competitor until the 320 wrecked Boeing's private oligarchy. BOEING tried to trash Bombardier but the funny thing is that the airlines liked these efficient regionals from Canada and Brazil.
This is an utter shame to befall the Boeing Commercial Aircraft Division. None of this pathetic behaviou would have happened when they venturred
Sorry about todays squawk my tablet is dying see below. None of this would never have happened if they had told the truth at the beginning.
None of this pathetic behavior would have occurred if they played a responsible role instead of trying to hide the serious flaws with these issues. The zero sales is a result of many factors mainly being straight forward with your customers. AIR CANADA had to park about 25 737 MAX 8. The airline still has to pay for the machine that is parked because because these machines rare not generating income at this time however the buyer will look at a class action suit. At least AIR CANADA will get the aircraft from AIR TRANS AT after the sale goes through.
with backlogs in the thousands, including 737max's, this little factoid is not so bad as at first glance. It is a blip unless the max goes far worse for far longer. Any orders taken now do not become deliveries for several years.
Bottom line: didn’t plan ahead/bad judgement calls leads to rushing development leads to corner cutting leads to crash/failed products... It not only relevant in aviation industry, but also auto, electronics, even online services...
And a word to management: please listen to engineers...
