Too funny, "boeing verses airbus". Yeah and my American made cars alternator is made is mexico.

That's like Saying Harbor Freight Tools are just as good as Craftsman or other off-loaded goods.

Both are subcontracted out to the hilt to overseas and just rebadged.

Any guesses why the 787 is 2-3 years late being delivered and flight tested?, cheap un-trained labor making inferior quality parts behind schedule. Everything is offloaded. All to save a buck up front. Like spending $1 to save a dime. Just doesn't make sense with all the rework and poor quality. Shim to fit, that is Boeings motto.

I did 20 years at Boeing, Jeff has 30.

No offense to Higgins. He fixes the ones that breaks, but it's just a machine, and everyone once in a while things break.

Twin engines are no problem with the thrust they have these days, yes you can limp one home on a single engine.
