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?
