Airbus has only really been in competition with Boeing since the 2000s. Boeing’s merger with Mcdonell Douglas was in 1997 and that is when corporate culture shifted hard away from quality and to machinists, mechanics, engineers, everyone being told to think “how can I increase stock value today”.
Yes, but that’s still quite different from what was said. I was only pointing out the ridiculousness of the claim. A lot of Boeing’s current problems point back to that merger.
