THIS Is How Boeing Can Beat Airbus!

-----------------------------------------------------
Can Boeing really rise back from its ashes, and become the aircraft manufacturer it DESERVES to be? To do that, Boeing needs an all-new aircraft, to replace its 737 and somehow begin to level the playing field with Airbus. But what would this new aircraft look like and… can Boeing pull this off alone, or could they look for some help from… somewhere?

If you compare the salaries of the ceo's of Boeing and Airbus, it's easy to see why Boeing is failing.
They reward the strip mining of Boeing with outrageous compensation.

Recently flew on an E195-2 for the first time, was blown away. Everything about it was great. The cabin was configured with 2-2 seating which is just SO much more comfortable than the 3-3 of a 737 or 32x. Cabin was quiet, performance was great, just a really good product. I wish Embraer all the luck in being successful, their engineers are top class.

Boeing has a mountain of debt, a striking workforce and several poorly run development programs. Pinning hopes on Kelley Ortberg pulling a rabbit out of his hat sounds nice but is it realistic? The union is going to extract their due from Boeing and get revenge for concessions that were forced on them in previous labor contracts. How much free cash are they going to have when its time to put pencil to paper for a new plane? Can they get financing? Who's going to loan them money to embark on another 15 year development program? Especially when you look at how bad their balance sheet looks. It might take years to get there, but if Boeing is going to be saved, it will be by either the US taxpayer or a bankruptcy judge.

[andreborges]

Embraer is such a slick and well oiled company, that I wish it wouldn’t go hanging around Boeing.

[apollosaturn]

When I saw the notification "A Plan to SAVE Boeing!", I thought: "They're getting rid of all the current executives and are moving the headquarters back to Seattle." Oh well. It's nice to have a dream.

[Snafuski]

I love this... Many years ago, I wrote an editorial to respond to an article that suggested that one should let businessmen take care of things... I pointed out that the better idea was to keep businessmen OUT of engineering. The constant pressure to cut costs -- to improve profits and shareholder value -- had caused many major accidents, such as Bhopal and Seveso. Business could organize, while engineers built.

[toto]

It's funny to note that there are much more strikes and social conflicts on the Boeing side of things, even if Airbus is mostly French and France has a reputation about that

[ccooper]

The Government will never allow Boeing to fail.
My sympathies to the taxpayer...

[babyUFO.]

LMAO, he will need to fire the board that hired him to save the company

[joaohen]

Just a correction at 14:15. The Embraer E1 are all fly-by-wire. The only difference is that the E1 has its ailerons connected by cable and the E2 is completely fly-by-wire.
As far as I know, this was a FAA requirement

[ryanlegrand]

Unfortunately I think Boeing burnt the bridge so totally and throughly with Embraer that it will take a long, long, long to mend that wound. Boeing of course first needs to get it's own house in order. Kelley and the team have a herculean task ahead of him. For the industry's sake I hope the succeed.

[KyleCowden]

My recent trip to D.C. was on an A321. I had a chance to walk and talk with the captain who'd come from the 738 (with previous models also). He enjoyed the roomier cockpit (side stick vs. yoke) and said there was a quadruple redundancy in the FBW system. It was a very comfortable seat.

There used to be a saying that went something like, "You can have 10, 000 'atta boys'. One 'aw shit' wipes that clean." If I was Boeing, I'd cut Starliner and my losses with it. Boeing has a history of great innovations and I'd like to see that return. But dang, they have a long way to go to claw their way out of that hole they put themselves in.

[johndonovan]

Everything will be fine. Boeing will survive. Only the taxpayer will get shafted..

[jasonphillips]

Good Lord, man! Based on your insight, maybe Boeing should be looking for their next CEO on YouTube... Maybe, specifically, a particularly good storyteller running a channel named "Mentour Pilot"!

[etiroginal]

Boeing openned a engineeing office few km from Embraer's Main location and poached heavilly on Embraer's engineers, that REALLY soured the relationsheep.

[j.heilig]

Creating a new airplane isn’t going to bring Boeing back from the dead. If anything, it’s going to make their problems worse. Unless and until they start being serious about putting engineering and build excellence and (most of all) safety above every other consideration, they’re going to keep circling (if not going down) the drain.

[tobiwan]

As always: more subsidies possibly through even more military contracts. Everything in the US is subsidized through the military.

[xxmrrickxx]

Please Boeing, don’t ruin another aircraft manufacturer.

[jeffberner]

As a former Boeing employee who worked in preliminary design on five (six?) new airplanes, the key to any new airplane is how do you replace the fleet of Boeing's biggest 737 customers, specifically Southwest airlines and RyanJet. Both would be launch customers of a new airplane, and both would have veto power on airplane size and configuration. Both would need to address the cost of re-training existing pilots and maintenance costs of a new airplane type.

Based upon the current situation on 777X and 737Max7/10, the biggest unknown is how does the FAA's new perspective on flight deck human factors impact Embraer's E-series. Any future derivative will be subject to the same scrutiny that 777X and 737Max7/10 are being placed under for system safety and flight deck procedures.
