If your the guy doing the negotiation at this point isn't the thing they will be asking is how will you ensure this doesn't happen again?
Jump to postSo back a few.yrars ago Boeing was trying to knock out the A330s only advantage over the 787' lower acquisition by offering lower prices possible by higher production rates reducing unit costs. This seems to have not been possible suggesting some further pain to come.
Jump to postWhat this tells me with this long wait till delivery time is that no one is expecting something new in the future that will be taking the place of the existing offerings n these market spaces. At least it's not going to be coming anytime soon, so your choice is take what we got now or wait a really ...

The irony of this is because the larger companies have been making the regional feeder companies compete with each other to keep the costs down, the weaker ones have left the market and soon only a couple larger entities will be around, who can then increase their rates, as the majors then have no a...
Jump to postNot sure that Boeing has the room to offer the same price insensitive as before because these were based on the economy of higher production rates if what I read on here previously is correct. But I still expect the 787 to be the preferred choice. It makes you wonder if Airbus' united account manage...
Jump to postI love flying, not sure I would want to do it as method of public transport from hotel to stadium. Just another reason this decision was so stupid. I myself will probably completely ignore it. Roll on to the next one where I will definitely be attending, as nearest games will only be 4 hours away.
Jump to postEr.... should we both be more interested in figuring out how many and what type of aircraft they will need. Do ties to certain countries favor one supplier over another, or does it need to have commonality with a previous entity because they will need some form of continuity as a pilot/service pipel...
Jump to postI have noticed an accelerated trend in my industry of sending fewer people on a trip, with those back at base or in there own home who need to see anything having a camera phone pointed at stuff by the guy there. Or having a hybrid meeting with one guy from the company present and everyone else remo...

Jump to postI am waiting to see if companies address insufficient pay to obtain necessary work resource by reallocation of pay structure in an organization. Or will they just complain they cannot find workers? There does not seem to be a shortage of CEOs so why pay them so much? Or do market forces not effect t...

Jump to postI have noticed on here that when one of these incidents occur there is normally a few people with actual knowledge who get close to what occurred from the limited amount of initially available information. You have to filter out the less reliable suggestions but generally when you look back someone ...
Jump to postI do not think that firing people who are complaining of overwork is likely to happen for a company that is overworking people for a lack of people to work.
Jump to postOne interesting thing I have read about share buy backs is that they have not been reducing the total shares outstanding in the market as they have been offset by newly issued shares as options and compensation for high level employees. So they have not been a way to transfer value to shareholders w...
Jump to postIt almost feel like if Boeing builds this both manufacturers will be screwed, Airbus because a clean sheet design in the same space as an existing category should be better and take away sales, and Boeing will have a hard time making back the development cost and all the costs inevitable delays pile...
Jump to postMore normal maybe, who knows what's normal or is this the new normal? Or continuing waves of increases in COVID will be normal and thing become cyclical as we go through each one with cycles of demand following a few weeks behind.
Jump to postFrom everything I read here it seems that for Airbus they get significantly larger margins selling the lager/higher capability members of the A320 family I am wondering that if the same effect is at play here for Boeing with their newest member of the line up. A 25% bigger plane is costing 40% more ...
Jump to postI am not sure why alternative energy source flying is seen as "saving" regional flying. To do so would mean that this alternative would produce significantly cheaper fuel cost (with similar purchase cost or reduced purchase cost (with similar running cost). As we do not currently have any ...
Jump to postThey did indeed reduce the Deferred Production Cost by 3.5 Billion, so that's where they booked this charge. https://www.boeing.com/investors/accounting-considerations.page It has gone down from 22 Billion at the start of 2019 to 11.6 Billion after Q4 2021. So they already booked 10 Billion + losse...
Jump to postDid they write if off the accounting block or somewhere else?
Jump to postI think that the standardization on size is all to do with engine efficiency. Previously larger plane types were needed for long range, with a smaller version of the biggest type for the longest ranges. This has meant a smaller plane can fly to further destinations than previously removing the need ...
Jump to postI am wondering if this has a knock on effect on people travelling through the region. Not seen this widely reported so impact might be limited.
Jump to postFact 1 university education has become more expensive over time.
Fact 2 airlines cannot find enough suitable candidates to hire
So a market based solution to this problem is a) pay more or b) reduce requirements. One of these options is cheaper. You can see which was selected.
One would hope that on the next iteration of airplanes that they might design in some features to make this harder to do even if no was meant to, as it did happen. Why? Can’t automate you way out of everything. At some point pilots have to just trust and verify and fly the airplane….. It’s not rock...

Jump to postWithout new products in an early step coming to the market from Boeing it would seem the normal thing to find a new product for these folks to start working on, otherwise what would they do? Or you otherwise lose these valuable employees which will hamper the start of the next project.
Jump to postSome info going around the F/O who was pilot flying was a low houred local recruit. So instead of having several thousand jet hours before joining they came straight into the right hand seat of a 777. Now while I'm generally a big fan of good ab initio schemes the EK Cadet program is not one of the...
Jump to postIt would seem to me judging with no real insight or specific knowledge the current A320 (A321) is the best narrow body you can buy and the B787 is the best widebody you can buy and to go outside these two choices (to a different model or manufacturer) is done for a specific reason of commonality, av...
Jump to postSo foreign pilots are willing to sacrifice their "liberties" for the few extra dollars they will make working in that toxic environment, are they being "encouraged" by their respective governments for "political" reasons, and I mean those from the EU in particular and ...
Jump to postIt works both ways: in Germany employees are more loyal to companies, but companies are also more loyal to workers.

Jump to postCurious if Spice Jets woes have had an effect on people buying tickets? You can do a lot of things to keep things going as long as their is some money coming in the door. If that dries up magical accounting becomes a lot harder.
Jump to postAllowing people to make personal choices on risk of flying has certainly allowed new variant to spread around the world before we have first detected them. If this continues to be a pattern of re-emergence over a prolonged time, there might be some rethinking on who get to decide who and for what re...

Jump to postSo it turns out the free market applies to peoples decisions on buying tickets AND for people deciding how to obtain money in exchange for their time. Who would have guessed?
Jump to postI have am image in my head of convoys of planes flying over head like migrating geese. For practical purposes there are going to be very few routes where two identical planes flying between the same two points at the same time are going to be available to make this work, But I could see planes joini...
Jump to postthank you for that detailed explanation. It is incredible what can be done sometimes with a bit of knowledge and some data!
