  An accountant as a CEO? <br>There is a saying in the oil industry.<br>A growing company has a geologist as its CEO, a mature company has an engineer, a withering company has an accountant, and a failing company has a lawyer.

  Boeing&apos;s biggest nightmare is its own management. They moved to Chicago to become a finance and marketing focused company, then to Washington DC in order to become a lobbying company. Each move made them worse at making planes.

  Boeing&apos;s greatest fears<br>1. Losing stock price.<br>2. Planes falling apart.<br>3. Ex employee&apos;s.<br>4. Murder investigations.<br>5. Qualified QC workers.<br>6. Extra training for pilots.<br>7. Spending money.<br>8. Engineers.<br>9. Newly designed planes.<br>10. Quality products.<br>11. Time taken to sweep up drill bit shavings from cable trays.<br>12. Expensive locking bolts.<br>13. Paper trails.<br>14. Homesick astronauts.

  Boeing is just too arrogant to admit that they&apos;re lost to Airbus. I mean, calling your competitor&apos;s product &apos;niche&apos; while you&apos;re struggling with certifications, delayed orders, quality control, whistleblowers, starliners etc is just beyond me.

  At least Airbus marketing can use the slogan: No whistleblowers were harmed in the design or production of this plane.

  Airbus did outsmart Boeing : by not screwing up quality for financial gains, by not leaving the midsize market, by not leaving the company in the hands of beancounters, by not falling into the &quot;arrogant&quot; mode prevalent at Boeing, and the list goes on...

  But didn&apos;t Boeing feel bolts were a &quot;niche&quot; product?

  I love how Boeing&apos;s immediate reaction to a pair of fatal crashes resulting in scrutiny of a particular aircraft type they&apos;re building (that also happens to be archaic) is to double down on that type and cancel any new projects aimed at replacing said aging type in production... absolute galaxy brain decision.

  The A321neo XLR also has other improvements: 80% of the fuselage is strengthened by using thicker structural parts. It has an additional potable water tank, an optional additional waste tank, it has 3 zones for cabin climate controls instead of 2, added heated floors in the galleys for the crew, all new main landing gear and strengthened nose gear, both with completely new wheels. It also has a new belly fairing (as mentioned by Mentour Pilot), and new flaps.

  Wow, Calhoun decided for Boeing to withdraw completely from what seems to be the fastest growing segment of the airline industry 😮
