4. Very bad news for Boeing

If given the option, I choose them over Airbus anytime. But this is bad news for the company. Especially after delaying delivery for years due to various issues with the program. I love the 787 and I love Boeing, but they need to fix this, otherwise the ramifications are going to be significant. I'm sure their French counterparts are wringing their hands, salivating at the thought of new A350 orders.
