Boeing Bounces Back
Boeing, one of the worlds largest airplane producers, is bounceing back from a slump in sales with their new line of airplane models, to combat lost sales taken by Europes top producer, Airbus. The most impressinve being Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner jet. The 787 is a lighter more fuel efficient plane. In fact, it burns an average of 20% less fuel that other planes its size. Plus, it conserves 24% more fuel then Airbus's A350. With gas prices like they are, many airliners are turning to the Dreamliner, ordering so many in fact that Boeing is outselling Airbus at a 10-1 ratio. Do you think its possible with Boeing's new model that they could monopolize the airplane manufacturing industry? Do you think that Airbus can bounce back? Furthermore, Dont you think its weird that a gas crisis can be beneficial to a company? Why do you think that is?

Personnaly I do not think that this new Dreamliner that Boeing has created will make Boeing a monopoly. I'm sure that other airline industries will come out with an equal model if not an even better model that signifies their airline. The airbus might not bounce back, but a diffirent and improved airbus might. I think that an increase in gas prices is beneficial to company's because if they can create a plane or car that uses less fuel when prices are so high, the consumer will jump on the oppertunity to buy one.
I agree with Eric when he doesn’t think that this will make a monopoly. I think that this is comparable to the hybrid car and how it has changed the car market due to the change in price of gasoline. All the airbus has to do is build a new plane that also conserves fuel in order to raise their revenues and get back into the market.
