Is it too late for Boeing to develop a mid-range aircraft?
SEATTLE — The American aircraft manufacturer may be reviving plans for a new aircraft to serve medium-haul flights, but the story of the Boeing 757 shows that timing can be everything. (www.airlinerwatch.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Is in Seattle. Boeing will completely leave Seattle if something in the state and local government doesn't change.
No one in their right mind would voluntarily move there now. When I was stationed in Korea on a Hardship Tour in 1984-85, I was given a choice of assignments when I returned. Most usually choose between Forts Carson, Ord, or Lewis; I choose Lewis. Feel sorry for military people stationed @ Fort Lewis, NAS Whidby Island, or Joint Base Lewis-McChord & imagine there’s a shortage of people willing to voluntarily go there these days.
It’s sounds like the article describes a 767-200. Would it make sense to build something that size again?
They should have re-engined and redesigned the cabin of the 757 years ago. Wonderful airplane and they wouldn't have had to touch the landing gear. Boeing could have had a market advantage for years in the 180-220 seat category.
Yes.
It is as though the people who actually build and maintain the aircraft score 100% A Plus every minute of every work day.
Boeing used to have a great relationship with Seattle and the State of Washington. That all changed once the politics of the State went rogue left, Taxes skyrocketed, Smart housing" and New urbanism" made housing unaffordable to most of the rank and file workers,
Boeing was attracted to SC for the climate, the Port of Charleston the airport and the Interstate 26 corridor.
Yes Boeing was offered lucrative tax breaks and its stance as a right to work state also made it an attractive location.
