Boeing Needs to Be Led by Engineers, Time is Not On Its Side, Emirates President Says
Boeing needs to be led by engineers if it wants to pull itself out of its current crisis, Tim Clark, the president of Emirates Airline, said Wednesday (www.cnbc.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The customers will have the final word, not the company executives, investors and government agencies.
Absolutely agree, I think this is the point that is behind Tim Clark's (Emirate Airline chief) comments If airlines begin to see major delays with their programmed deliveries from one sauce they will inevitably consider looking elsewhere. Equally, if they sense a passenger distrust of a product they will look for an alternative.
He is very clear that the best way to restore faith in Boeing is to put it back in the hands of engineers and who can argue with that??

And here lies the problem-"looking elsewhere" When you have a duopoly there is no realistic elsewhere. Airbus could never take up the new business. Where else? COMAC, Sukoi? Nope.
If Airbus tried to increase production they would end up cutting corners and would be in the same situation as Boeing. When you have essentially 2 worldwide commercial aircraft makers the only solution is to create enough change in Boeing to produce defective free aircraft that ensures public trust. That is why a complete overhaul of management and the BOD is necessary.

And don’t forget, Spirit which may be part of the problem, also makes part for Airbus
Nobody
Anyone at that company that promoted the massive stock buybacks in recent years is complicit. When the priority becomes stock value and not your product, the results speak for themselves. In the case of Boeing, the direct result is people die. Nobody at that company has truly paid the price for their greed. Top management and the entire board should all be gone.
