    The Boeing company is experiencing its worst crisis in decades due to the 2 Boeing 737 MAX 8 accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The MCAS software has really put questions in the heads of potential airline customer to Boeing.
    It would seem like a perfect opportunity for a rival like Airbus to swoop in and take over the market completely.... So why isn't in happening?!
    In todays video I will give you 3 (possibly 4) different reasons why Airbus is staying nicely on the sidelines as this is unfolding.

I asked one of them if Airbus is going to take advantage of the Boeing crisis, and he said "what could we do even if we wanted to? The waiting list on a new aircraft is eight years, it's much quicker for the airlines to just wait for Boeing to fix it".

    I remember talking about this with my dad, an airline pilot, years ago. In his case, in favor of Boeing actually, as he was a Boeing fan and at times referred to Airbuses as "Airbags" or "Crash-buses." I'd say the tables have turned a bit since then, not to mention that he's now become an A320 captain and, while still not a fan of how it flies, he seems reasonably happy with it. I asked him about airlines or airplane manufacturers bashing the safety record of competitors, and he said that this would hurt everyone, be a net loss for the company doing it. Despite the safety record of flying being one of the safest possible ways of traveling, the public is still very fearful of it, scared of flying. Anything that mentions hazards of flying, even if on a competitor's airline or plane, will turn the public away from flying period, hurting all airlines and manufacturers. The biggest opponent isn't other competing airlines or manufacturers, it's the public's fear of flying. The other points are interesting as well - basically that it would be in both manufacturer's benefit to cooperate and agree upon how much improvement to make rather than either developing a new vastly superior product, forcing the other to do the same, at great expense to both. They aren't actually scheming on this, more it sounds as though Airbus tricked Boeing into staying with this strategy. From an airline and industry perspective this is sort of a disadvantage, as it means that neither are making the best planes they could, a drawback of a duopoloy like this - more players in the game might change that. The other thing is simply that both are at their capacity for manufacturing planes, and if something happened to one, the other wouldn't be able to sell any more planes than they already are as they can't build them.

      @@quillmaurer6563 The new Embraer E195-E2 is a direct competitor to the A220 and is vastly superior in terms of efficiency, but Airbus' size still forces airlines to purchase their model, although in the recent Farnborough festival there was a significant increase in E195-E2 sales. The KC-390 Millennium is proof that Embraer has the capacity to compete against giants such as Lockheed and build larger heavier airplanes with all the latest technology. However I believe they just simply don't have the cash to support the expensive development of an airplane that will have to compete with Boeing and Airbus in market that they already dominate. Well established airlines aren't going to suddenly switch from their fleets of 737s or A320s all of sudden. Even if Embraer could enter this market it would probably take decades to become an established name for those bigger airplanes. It's really a shame. I'm Brazilian and I fly a small Embraer so I really wish I could see them grow more and tackle the giants.

Also airliners can't get 6000 planes in in just one year, the old fleet is also aging at different levels, so they order 100 planes and want them at a rate of 25 per year or so.

      @@daffidavit Due to it's shenanigans with the FAA (self-certification, no oversight etc) Boeing have suffered severe damage. Both their flagship airplane (the Dreamliner) and their new workhorse airplane (the 737 Max) have failed catastrophically because of this and are basically dead in the water. No matter what Boeing will try to ressurect them, their reputation is blown forever.
      So for Boeing it's back to the drawing tables and develop, build and test completely new airplanes. That takes quite some time and what are they going to do in the meantime? Yes, the venerable old Boeings are still flying, but those have nothing against the new Airbus Neo, so Boeing can expect to see many customers going to Airbus for their new planes. That's something that can't easily be turned around.
      Boeing have not only shot themselves in the foot for this batch of airplanes, but also for the foreseeable future. Boeing doesn't only have no new airplanes to directly compete with Airbus at this time, it's yet to be developed new airplanes have to prove themselves without get automatic acceptance because the Boeing credibility has been shot down as well with this debacle. This has way more consequences than Boeing executives might have dreamt of when they decided to put profit before safety and reliability.

      @@tjroelsma Yes, I agree with you but the FAA are not victims nor angels here either. Now they (FAA) are trying to save face by acting as if they had the wool pulled over their eyes when they too knew what was going on. But the FAA is understaffed. They only have so many people in the Administration to oversee everything. How can an Administrative agency as the FAA be underfunded and underemployed? Maybe they are bottom heavy with not enough chiefs. I believe from talking to other aviation attorneys that the attorney staff at the FAA is understaffed. There was a recent freeze on hiring FAA attorneys. That root problem was caused either by Congressional underfunding or FAA management misappropriating sufficient oversight funding.
      Here the FAA could have insisted that Boeing report more of its MCAS system problems but did not have enough FAA employees to supervise the top management of Boeing. So IMHO it was similar to the old adage of the "fox protecting the hen house". Does anybody here honestly believe that Boeing "paid off the FAA" to look the other way? I DO NOT BELIEVE SO.
      I don't believe the FAA was in "cohoots' with Boeing. I believe the FAA had to delegate to Boeing its oversight responsibility because the U.S.A. is in competition with Airbus to built better aircraft so as to benefit the U.S. economy. Some will say "I'm in a dreamworld". Maybe I am and don't realize it, but I choose to believe the lack of FAA oversight was due to a congressional underfunding by not having enough inspectors on board to oversee the building of Boeing aircraft.
      I am a loyal homegrown born here American since the 1950s. I've taken an oath to follow the Constitution of the U.S.A as my duty to appear before the Federal Courts of the United States. I want to see my Country respected as the best of the best. But I can not sit by and watch the "bean-counters" run a company like Boeing when the engineers should have had the final say. The FAA could have stopped this but they didn't and now the FAA brass has "egg on their faces". So now what? Is it in the best interest of my Country, the U.S.A. to penalize the entire Boeing company because the top management was too money hungry while the FAA administration was weak?

      @@daffidavit Happy New Year to you too.
      The FAA being understaffed to me is a deliberate move to slowly kill off the Government, one of the spearpoints of the GOP. Oversight is not necessary according to them, because fine, upstanding companies like Boeing will self-regulate and produce the best and safest airplanes possible if only the Government will leave them be. Well, look at how that escalated within even a few years: Boeing's new airplanes grounded, possible for good, and Boeing's reputation almost completely wiped out.
      But has anyone from the GOP officially responded to this s*** show yet? Or are they too busy pretending their collective noses bleed? Everyone with half a working braincell could have seen this coming, but pushing an agenda is far more important than maintaining decent oversight.
      And the US isn't alone in this: the infamous Dieselgate could only happen because lazy Governments issued very strict regulations to car manufacturers and then left the certification to that same car manufacturers. Yes, they did some random tests, but under exactly the artificial settings prescribed in the regulations, so it was very easy to cheat. And then when the bubble burst, those same Governmenst cried "foul", while ostensibly washing their hands in innocence.
      We're in a period where on a global scale Governments are swiftly moving from governing on behalf of their citizens to governing on behalve of corporations. And politicians are happy to oblige, because they know that if they play ball, after their political career there's a cosy job at one of the corporations waiting. Oaths and Constitutions mean nothing to them, it's all about "how can I reap the most benefit from my political career and insure a nice job afterwards."

The software problem can and was probably overcome. Just allow both AOA sensors to work together with the revised and improved software. Then train all the pilots in a simulator to learn how to turn off the system in an emergency.
      I'm sure the problem has been solved. But why are not these "fixed" 737 Max airplanes not allowed to fly anymore? Even if all MAX pilots must take a "new MAX" "Flight training course", it must be less expensive than to require a new "type 737 MAX" rating".
      I'm afraid the FAA is in fear for itself and its reputation for the potential of allowing the New MAXs to fly. They are not unsafe. Just train the 737 pilots to fly them under the new parameters. Adjust the new software to respond to both AOA sensors, not just one on an alternating cycle. Then get ride of the name, "MAX". It sounds like and "OLD DOG". "Here Max, here max".
      In my opinion the name should be changed to the 737 "Phoenix". Remember "The Flight of the Phoenix"?

      Airbus needs Boeing as a competitor, as without Boeing the US government would come down hard on Airbus in areas such as anti-trust, as well as spending massive amount of state aid (screw the WTO) to create a successor for Boeing. One big reason why the US turned against Concorde was because their own SST, the Boeing 2707, failed. That means there's no local champion for supersonic travel, so the door was slammed shut for Concorde. Also airlines like Southwest depend heavily on Boeing, and they would pay whatever price for Boeing to stay in the market.

    I worked for a private ambulance company years ago. They aggressively took on as many contracts that they could in order to tie up the local market in non- emergency patient transportation.
    The problem was that there was no control over the timing. When many of the hospitals and nursing homes needed to send patients at once there were not enough ambulances to satisfy everyone. The contracts disappeared because no one was satisfied.
    A similar fate could happen to Airbus. Imagine if everybody dumped Boeing and Airbus had to suddenly rush to produce say 20%-30% more aircraft. Airbus quality and safety could suffer and put their company into an even worse position than Boeing is going through now.
    I am sure that Airbus is smart enough to know this public distrust will last as long as the media has interest in the stories.

    Not trashing your competitors is standard practice in most serious areas of business. It's a weak sales technique because it suggests your products can't sell on their own merits, is a bad look because it appears somewhat unscrupulous and underhand, and is potentially insulting to your customer (implies they are too stupid to work out for themselves if rival products are inferior to yours), and is therefore ineffective. The art of sales is making the customer feel positive about your service/product, not negative about your competitors.

    You made me remember a lesson I learned from Bill Gates, in person 1994 in Stockholm. At that time Windows NT was new, it's called Windows 10 today. Windows NT at the time could run on four different processors. Intel, Mips, PowerPC and Digital Equipments Alpha. I asked Bill about this and I will never forget his answer on who would win. "It's not about technical qualities, it's about fabs". Fabs is translated as manufacturing plants. The only company that had huge resources on that was Intel.
    If the balance shifts between Boeing and Airbus it will be a slow process because of that reason.

      A shift in market shares between Boeing and Airbus cannot happen fast. Say that Boeing looses half of the orders for 737 MAX and they go to Airbus instead. It will take Airbus years to expand their factory capacities to build that many more aircraft than they are building today. Therefore a change will be slow.

    As an economist I agree with what you were saying about the market. In a few-player market, it is in the interest of the players not to compete. It relates to game theory -- if you hit them, they will hit you back and you both lose out on income competing for consumers. The fact is, with a tougher airplane competition, we counsumers could have had cheaper flights.
    I think it is worth mentioning that both Airbus and Boeing are heavily subsidised by their countries, that is why there is so little competition. As a consequence none of them are building aircrafts the most efficient way, but are forced to build them so that the jobs stay in the subsidising countries.
