Boeing Wants Embraer, But at a Lower Cost Than $4.2 Billion

A financially wounded Boeing can't afford a $4.2 billion dollar purchase for Embraer commercial single-aisle airplane division. It can't even afford a 737 Max investment at this time. So it canceled the Embraer deal entirely hoping for a cheaper offer for its acquisition of an Embraer merger. The cancelation is not unexpected at this time until it has a stronger cash position in two years. It's the 737 Max on life support while Embraer waits its turn in the big aviation market.

Embraer ditherings

Boeing will invent its offering to its customers during the next approach. Embraer product development will be in line for the Boeing introduction by 2024. The 737 families will be replaced by its NMA line and Embraer will reconfigure Boeing's single-aisle line-up. Dropping Embraer now signals a change in tactics during the current aviation disruption. Just wait twelve more months and what a year a difference makes in aviation.

Boeing will buy Embraer for $3.? Billion in the next twelve months.

Just Good Enough

Is a long-held corporate philosophy trickling down to managers on the production floor? "Just Good Enough" (JGE), a mere expression of not doing anything more than what you can get away with  Or in management world float with JGE until the Golden parachute arrives off the FedEx truck. Boeing is now trying to sell airplanes using the "JGE" theme causing death and destruction on Boeing's own account with its two crashing 737 Max that wasn't good enough to fly. Hence, the Boeing fall from aviation's greats is wearing the corporation into oblivion and beyond.

The opinion today is a hopeless contribution to how JGE will not raise Boeing but ho.w Boeing can recover without a JGE component in its bag of trick. Boeing must:

JGE leads the way to decision making that chalk is better than ink when writing a dictionary because chalk is cheaper and it can be done so let's make more money using chalk. Chalk is Just Good Enough! and... so forth. Boeing has trapped itself with JGE and now the very stockholder Boeing has patronized with chalk will soon die by 2025 unless it does some high-quality stuff in the next five years. 

1. Make an honest product
2. Start with a clean sheet medium jet
3. Re-inventing is a no-go! No adding of flight characteristics augmentations without pilot knowledge.


Making the 737-Max with just one MCAS sensor or the angle of attack adjusting computer is JGE nonsense. Scrape the Max go clean sheet is step one.

Build a small but big dual aisle replacing the Max/737. this will take ten years from today to do this, in fact, the shadow of Boeing is the new company mantra. We are small but bigger than the other "guy". What's wrong with a small twin with seven across seating, demand a pitch limiting law which contains airline companies to certain dimensions. The rule would require airlines having a seat pitch of 31" and a seat width of 18".

Just good enough must go before it can win again.

The Shoot Down Of The F-35 By Technology

Unmanned fighter jets are Gen 6. The F-35* is Gen 5. It's no more than a trillion-dollar petri dish for the next generation war machine. This testing lab is building anything starting with the letters MQ. Without a pilot, all the electronics that support a human in the cockpit can be replaced by a warehouse located at area 51 talking to satellites and shooting at gen 5 and six or more such generational numbers coming from foreign powers. By 2040, the US airforce will consist of nerds in a box throughout the globe.

The MQ-25 is the first example of an Airforce Sea Change for moving pilots to an aircraft carrier into an onboard electronic room and launching the MQ-25 off its decks.

 
The MQ -FA is just a drafting board away from an aircraft carrier as those ships have serious space problems and an FA type drone would mitigate that problem. 

Step 2. Autonomous Wingman (by 2030)

and... X47-B fighter already tested in the last 10 years

 Step three is here and in the video, it proves just a matter of execution

Boeing 737 Max Strategy

Boeing should not treat the 737 Max as a business as a usual sequel but rebuild public confidence as its main talking point, Boeing must make the case that the 737 Max has become the safest airplane in the world, a passenger could board. In other words, "If you won't fly on the Max, then don't fly on a NEO.

These points are Boeing's talking points for its customers.

• FEAR is demonstrated at a large theatre with a thousand people enjoying the show when someone shouts out, "fire"!

• Boeing has tackled the topic by presenting it as a sea change to the aviation world for the last 75 years.

• The 737 MAX is not an airplane problem but a human problem. Valid aviation procedures were ignored for gaining a better aviation position in the world when it concerned the 737 Max.

Boeing's commercial appeal should address all people who someday have the opportunity to fly on a Boeing. Innovate Safely is the Keyword to its people.

Two Ply Toilet Paper Beats Corona Virus COVID-19

Let's take the COSTCO cure and buy 20 bundles of toilet paper per person. I ask why with one Costco customer and they succinctly said," I dunno". It was just short of a brain fart on coupons. I understand Purell run, face masks and rubber gloves et al, but not a toilet paper run!!! So I did research on Novel Corona Virus and a toilet paper cure. I found that 80,000 people caught Covid-19 in China didn't use toilet paper. Purell is made in HK or South Korea, Face mask prevents pollution on the lungs in China. China has a plan for economic recovery and its toilet paper by the bundle. You go USA and pull China out of the economic doldrums using the COSTCO plan. Coupons have a value and its found at the toilet paper. China Offers Strict Terms on Consumer Obsessions (Costco, toilet paper).

America is Not Wired For Democratic Socialism

In a perfect world. In fact, all socialized/communistic countries have failed to grow its promise of perfection when all its citizens are pounded down to ground level and the select few rises above the dust.

To promote a socialist bent in this nation is a signal that this republic is extinct. People's rules guide each and every citizen on a value system. This election year, 2020, has reared its ugly head up suggesting socialism as the answer when measured against true Replic's democracy. PEOPLE vote for freedom and not for something you can't do for your self during the 2020 election this coming November.

FLASH BACK CASA BONITA DAYS

 Casa Bonita days Starts here 

let's all just flash Back to 2017.

Okay homies, old people can fly too!

The Return Of The Max

The much beleaguered 737 Max has cost Boeing time and money. At this time, it would be best to start with a clean sheet design for the whole of Boeing's family of aircraft. Starting with an NMA (clean-sheet design), then 787 and finally the 777X. Since Boeing has dived back from an NMA design to say it's back to the drawing board. It tells me Boeing has shifted to a long-overdue strategy of competing with Airbus rather than giving it the cold shoulder of industrial might.

Boeing is going back to its database to find a solution to its main drag, the 737 Max. Boeing will come up with a logical business decision. Doing a model that uses its all-new library of technology and build a span over the A-321 and A320 family of aircraft. That is a sensible corporate move. The 737 Max program was a "Bridge too Far". It put Boeing behind the count to Airbus' pitching. In order to get Boeing back in the game as a winner, it must plug in a model which will remake the single-aisle concept all together seven years ahead of this moment.

Boeing has to develop for the future on the QT. The 737 won't go past 2027 as a viable aircraft it must now go clean sheet to answer all of Boeing's corners it found itself in. The 737 was designed for the 1960's airport. Fifty years later it needs an NMA that goes from Seattle to Denver or Missoula to Las Vegas holding above 175 passengers. Embraer is the new Single Aisle concept and the NMA is Boeing's entry into service up to five thousand miles or 270 people. That is why Boeing has hinted at a new clean-sheet design. It's going to stuff the NMA with all new technology for an airframe that will be in the market place for the next 50 years as the 737 has served the last 50 years. Boeing bought Embraer commercial aircraft to kill the 737 from its own manufacturing line. Boeing was sloppy with its intent and now it is paying a big price.

However, Boeing is going back behind the curtain and will announce what its sea change is going to be to the aviation world by 2021.

Bamboo Ponders The 7779X For a Dozen

Is this the hammer on the 777X contained on this blog with so many 777X features to write about? 

Yeah! 

Everything else is abysmal and the 777X will change the world to boot. Say what you will, about an A-350  and called then call the 777X a "crazy 8". Put another 50 seats in it and call it "9 Lives". The ultimate moneymaker is in flight testing mode. The 787 made the 777X possible with carbon fiber 235' wings and dimmable extra-large windows and wide -bogy smugness. Those who always "want fries with that" will get a comfortable seat on a Hong Kong express. Boeing has leaped frog its main competitor, Airbus. 

The 777X will exceed anything called A-350 or A-380. The orders will start at the next airshow which happens to be at Farnborough, Great Britain.  A decent place for announcing deals from cruisers of the aviation world. "Damn the GE's engines and flank speed ahead." 

Make your own short-list below of where and the aviation cruiser order.

• Bamboo Airlines: Done (12 777 9X orders Farnborough) 
• Singapore Airlines: ( 20 777X's 6 8X and 14 9X) 
• ANA ( 6, 777-9X)
• United Airlines (12 777-9X)
• New Zealand Air (4, 7778X) 

Turkish Airlines ( 4,777 8X and 6 777 9X)
