Why is the 747 the Only Plane with a Hump?
The Boeing 747's iconic hump made it the "Queen of the Skies" in part due to Pan Am's use of the upper deck for luxury travel. But Boeing really added the hump over concerns that supersonic aircraft would quickly make subsonic planes obsolete. So the lower deck was designed to handle cargo including an opening nose.

With airline passengers down the airlines will be looking for lower capacity airliners with longer range for the next five to ten years. Airbus just happens to have the perfect airplane, the A321XLR. Boeing's 757 is long in the tooth and the 737 Max 10 isn't quite ready.

Why Airbus Failed to Capitalize on the 737 MAX Fiasco
Beginnning in 2019 a year before the CoVid 19 pandemic effected airline traffic the Boeing 737 MAX was grounded for 18 months. Yet Airbus experienced only a modest number for A320 orders during this time. The reasons Airbus could not take advantage of Boeing's 737 fiasco are several.

US Airports Suck. Here's Why...
The poor state of US airports isn't entirely accidental. Accessibility by mass transit is awkward because airlines reap hue revenues from parking.

Delta's Most Important Plane Has Become Its Greatest Liability
Delta CEO Edward H. Bastian was banking on the Boeing 797 to replace its fleet of 757s that it will heavily rely on post-pandemic while air traffic recovers to fill higher capacity planes. But Boeing CEO David L. Calhoun recently (2021) deprioritized the 797. Here are the options Cody now sees for Delta.

How the 797 Could Kill Southwest
Southwest Airlines, which stresses interoperability as part of it's low cost business model, just (2019) placed a huge order for 737 Max 7s. The problem is these are the smallest planes in the 737 line making them relatively inefficient. But Cody anticipates that Boeing is planning a replacement for the 737 and 757 in the 797 which will split the difference in size and may not offer a plane as small as the 150 seats favored by Southwest.

The 777X Has a 'Tesla Problem'
After building the 787 from composites to make an incredibly light and fuel efficient aircraft Boeing returned to aluminum for the 777S building only the wings form composites. The reason; cost. Boeing needed to balance the higher cost a fully composite aircraft against operating costs, specifically, fuel savings.

WTF is going on with the A350?
Airbus is having trouble with the paint on the A350. It's cracking and flaking off. And so far why it is happening is more a matter of speculation that fact. That would be a nuisance, though costly, maintenance issue had not Qatar grounded 30% of it's fleet due to the issue.
Jan 27, 2022
Boeing just teased its next 787. It's an A350 killer.
Although Boeing's 787 program is considered to be in disarray it is planning two new models. Both will be designed for extended range to compete with both the Airbus A330 and A350 and replace low end 777s. Boeing hasn't explained their strategy but Coby has some ideas.

Why 5G is a HUGE problem for Boeing, but NOT Airbus
There's only so much room in the radio spectrum. Unfortunatly, aircraft radio altimeters and the 5G cellular network frequencies are a bit to close together. This is a big problem for Boeing because one of their most popular planes, the 787, is the plane most effected by the problem.
