Interestingly enough, even if it would make sense that boeing is now fully focusing on improving quality, it also makes sense to me that airbus must be ensuring and pushing a lot of quality upgrades as well, it would be perfect marketing for them if no mistakes whatsoever happened on airbus's planes
And if they didn't develop the culture of sweeping safety issues under the rug at all levels, they won't have much trouble keeping ahead because I'm sure that even at the height of Boeing's safety ignoring, I bet most of the communication still looked like they took safety seriously. Just those in the know realized that they could make themselves look better by faking it and their management wouldn't care. I've gotta assume that some number of them will think the current safety culture overhaul is really trying to send a message of "just be smarter about ignoring safety, don't let it get to the point where doors fall off mid-flight and we need to kill some whistleblowers".
Well, keep buying back stock, that seems to help.
It’s good to see the free market actually working
Millennials are killing the 737 Max industry!

Don't they make a shitload of weapons though? They could probably never make another commercial airliner again and still do just fine.
The military and civilian divisions will be separate though. .
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The results released Tuesday compared unfavorably with Europe’s Airbus, which reported net orders for 15 planes in May — 27 sales but 12 cancellations.
Boeing also saw Aerolineas Argentinas cancel an order for a single Max jet, bringing its net sales for the month to three.
The dismal results followed poor figures for April, when Boeing reported seven sales — none of them for the Max.
Boeing hopes that the slow pace of orders reflects a lull in sales before next month’s Farnborough International Airshow, where aircraft deals are often announced.
But the Federal Aviation Administration is capping Boeing’s production of 737s after a door plug blew out from an Alaska Airlines Max, allegations by whistleblowers that Boeing has taken shortcuts to produce planes more quickly, and reports of falsified inspection records on some 787 Dreamliner jets.
Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, delivered 24 jetliners in May, including 19 Max jets.
