Boeing dismiss the XLR as a “niche” aircraft that they’re not that worried about. But is this actually true? Well, what I’m going to show you in this video is that, even if Boeing ARE worried about this plane, there is another, VERY similar Airbus that they are worried about much more.

An accountant as a CEO?
There is a saying in the oil industry.
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.

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 "arrogant" mode prevalent at Boeing, and the list goes on...

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

@seanrodgers1839 2 years ago

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

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

Boeings greatest fear is losing money

@roberts9095 2 years ago

I love how Boeing's immediate reaction to a pair of fatal crashes resulting in scrutiny of a particular aircraft type they'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.

@bazoo513 2 years ago

0:15 - Yes, A321XLR merely fill a niche - a very large niche 😀

@Republic3D 2 years ago

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.

@HappyGrump 2 years ago

But didn't Boeing feel bolts were a "niche" product?

@gandalfgreyhame3425 2 years ago

Maybe instead of paying Calhoun $32.8 million to run the company into the ground, if Boeing had just fired him and used that money to hire more competent workers and start designing a new model aircraft that could be modified from the 737 to the 767 range, that would have worked a lot better for the company.

@vawlkus 2 years ago

given Starliner, I do not think Boeing has what it takes anymore. Too many MBAs and not enough engineers at the top.

@terrygelinas4593 2 years ago

Boeing made short-term decisions, where Airbus acted long term.

@lukasgrsln 2 years ago

Off-topic but that black New Zealand A321neo looks gorgeous.

@xchazz86 2 years ago

Corrupt incompetent executives and corporate management is any companies worst nightmare.

@Harald-MacGerhard 2 years ago

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

@mircowitch 2 years ago

I am from Hamburg and we are especially excited about the 321XLR because it's (mostly) built here but it also would allow our city to have a transatlantic connection again which we haven't had for decades.
