RE:Delta deal might be closer then we think
I agree with you but Boeing and Airbus are not controlled by one family, who with limited skin in the game control who, what ,where the company is going. In most companies failure of this magnitude the Board plus the family would be tossed on the curb.
Even if they employ thousands in various sectors and locations, aid given to the company is seen by many as bailing out the family and not the company or addressing the issues they faced and will face.
