Interestingly enough, even if it would make sense that boeing is now fully focusing on improving quality, it also makes sense to me that airbus must be ensuring and pushing a lot of quality upgrades as well, it would be perfect marketing for them if no mistakes whatsoever happened on airbus's planes

And if they didn't develop the culture of sweeping safety issues under the rug at all levels, they won't have much trouble keeping ahead because I'm sure that even at the height of Boeing's safety ignoring, I bet most of the communication still looked like they took safety seriously. Just those in the know realized that they could make themselves look better by faking it and their management wouldn't care. I've gotta assume that some number of them will think the current safety culture overhaul is really trying to send a message of "just be smarter about ignoring safety, don't let it get to the point where doors fall off mid-flight and we need to kill some whistleblowers".

Don't they make a shitload of weapons though? They could probably never make another commercial airliner again and still do just fine.

The military and civilian divisions will be separate though. .
