      I heard the issue is that all the management and bean counters are former McDonnell Douglas, and they all decamped to Chicago where they don't have to talk to the Boeing plebs in Seattle and Columbia who actually build the planes, and they outsource the code to Mumbai who don't talk to Seattle, Columbia, or Chicago. Does that about sum it up?

      Boeing also advertised (I think) that there would be little training from the 737 to 737 max. But there was some software to fix some issues to make the max fly like the previous model(in theory). In my opinion Boeing had a fundamental flaw in their design.

      Any idea why so many were canceled? My pet theory is that we've hit the limits our technological advances in most areas. What's going on with aircraft is the same thing that's happening to cars - we keep adding features and complexity and "advances" to the point where they're becoming too expensive and unreliable for the average person. Technology for its own sake, rather than technology designed to best fit the needs of the people using it. We don't need a $1+ billion airplane any more than a farmer needs a $100,000 pickup truck, when a cheaper and more efficient one will do.

      Boeing is somehow keeping their massive tax cuts as they continue to move jobs elsewhere... damn local corporate tax cuts. To anyone else being told that these tax cuts will bring jobs, that is a lie. These new factories will never justify their tax benefit and they practically never meet their hiring targets as automation makes sure that they never have to hire as many as they used to.

    • @johnnyboythepilot4098
      @johnnyboythepilot4098 3 года назад +1

      It was designed with the intention of being a cargo freighter as its secondary role. Boeing thought the SST would eventually replace the 747 and the 747 would only find use as a freighter towards the end of its life, so they designed it to be a good freighter as well. Obviously the SST never happened and the 747 enjoyed astounding success as a passenger airliner, but it also was a big hit as a freighter, and as Boeing predicted back then, the last 747's being rolled of the production line today are all freighters.

      Boeing was in the running to create a massive transport plane for the USAF, along with Lockheed, and GE and Pratt and Whitney the engines. Lockheed won the contract to build the plane as did GE. Around that time Pan Am mogul Juan Trippe reached out to Boeing that he wanted a newer plane and they took some of the development work made for the military proposal and used it for the sales pitch, notably the concept of a wide plane, and they contacted P & W to do the engines on the airliner (which the first versions where supposedly horribly unreliable), but I don't think the design was as far along as to already be completed plane parts, they just used some of the R&D already made. As JohnnyBoythePilot mentions, since subsonic air travel was expected to go away soon, the plane was still kept with the intention of being a freighter and the easiest way to load massive sized freight was by opening the nose of the plane, which required the cockpit to be in a level above the cargo, which was the cause for the plane's iconic hump. At some point there was talk about making the plane a double decker like the A380, but that was scrapped due to the complexities of the project.
      Semi related freighter fact, because of the cockpit location on the A380 (between the two levels of the plane) the freighter version wasn't going to swing the nose open, and was going to require many internal structural changes to work, the project ballooned in costs to the point that Airbus delayed spending money on the project, focusing on the passenger version, and the launch customer FedEx just said screw it and bought Boing 777 freighters, and then added 767, FedEx abandoning as a customer killed the A380F.

    So, I want to give a little fun fact. I work for Allegiant Air and we use the Airbus A319 and A320. Well we used to use the MD80 as well and in 2016 we were discontinuing our usage of the MD80. And around this time was when the 737 Max series was coming out. So the guy in charge of securing those contracts on what planes to get for our fleet had a choice to make. Stick with Airbus or jump to the new Boeing hotness? Well he decided to stick with Airbus. Then lo and behold all the issues with the 737 max happened and basically, since we’re a budget airline, we would have been absolutely fucked when the 737 max got grounded. Basically he saved the company by sticking with Airbus instead of jumping to Boeing to replace our MD80’s.
