>>1996994well airbus is basically a state-owned enterprise. it exists to serve its own bureaucratic class the same way boeing exists to serve its parasitic investor class. luckily for airbus its possible for the interests of the bureaucracy to align with safety & quality manufacturing, whereas unfortunately for boeing (and honestly, everyone) the malevolence of american greed is basically incompatible with the idea of doing a good job.
so boeing will keep murdering whistleblowers and bribing the right politicians because at the end of day that's cheaper than giving a fuck.
but nobody should be fooled for one second that airbus actually cares, or that airbus is somehow a good company. its not. its actually pretty retarded and the decisions they make about meeting the market are almost always the wrong ones.
