Why not Airbus? They're the largest manufacturer in the world by market share. Boeing is not a monopoly.

You lack perspective. I'm literally sitting in an office looking out to the big ass Boeing facility right here. Like imagine me just walking over and telling them "hey you don't know how to make airplanes". That's a fucking retarded comment. As much as I don't like the company....well more like I'm just ambivalent about them since I have no business with them and they don't affect my every day life in a direct way...other than food, deliveries and people I talk to, yeah they, Boeing are important to the local and the national economy. So it's short sighted to say let's shit down the company. If you were an engineer and got a letter accepting you for a position at Boeing, you would be thrilled to accept. The technology and know how you would earn would be a once in a lifetime experience....but somehow they can't make airplanes? No fuckin way. It's their management. Change management.

Did you reply to the wrong comment or something?

I didn't say anything about Boeing not being able to make aeroplanes. Only a note of surprise that the parent comment would dismiss Airbus as an alternative manufacturer of aeroplanes when they are the largest manufacturer of aeroplanes in the world.

I'm stoked to hear that you live near a Boeing factory though. That must be very exciting for you.

Yeah, imagine thinking..... hmmm is that a plane? Or a falling tire? Or a safety door?
