    "Safety is the foundation that the entire aviation industry is built on" - something Boeing forgot.

    Boeing should realise how miserable they are if their competition is disappointed in them for being so useless to get disrepute on whole industry 😅...
  • Airbus: you are not even a worthy opponent anymore, just a disappointment

    I like how Airbus CFO knows exactly what plane model and exactly part of the plane Spirit AeroSystems is working on for them

    Airbus CFO: We're not happy with the issues at Boeing Embraer CFO: We are.
  • I know this is probably well prepared but the way he talks is exactly the way a high-ranking executive should talk. Informed, measured and with the right priorities. Wish Boeing had more like him in his ranks.

    In a duopoly, it is VERY easy for Boeing's PR problems to affect Airbus. It puts even more pressure on Airbus to be absolutely spotless, again from a PR perspective. Any perception problems arising from even mundane malfunctions can get blown out like...oh i dunno, a door plug 😁

    Who let this man cook? Such a well-put and classy response!

    Airbus = Class Act đŸ‘đŸ» I’m American and I’d trust Airbus over Boeing any day.

    Man, I wish our media had reporters like this. Her question about quality control being collateral damage from filling accelerated demand was excellent. She really asked a powerful question using very neutral language.

    No matter what, there is no need to speed through manufacturing at the cost of safety. Let the airlines wait for their airplanes.

    "We are also not happy with Boeing killing whistleblowers" - he forgot to say

    How is it that no Boeing CEO has gone to jail for the 2 crashes.

    Boeing: We prioritize greed, profit and production over safety of our customers.

    As an Ex-structural maintainer, this CFO has my utmost respect. He is no bean counter ! Not everyday you see a CFO so well versed in the product and in the fundamental / engineering / QC / principals of a buisness. Not everying can be quantified in Euros and Cents. Good job Mr. Toepfer !
  • @Rasscasse
    I was pleased that there was no management speak used in this interview. No references to unscheduled disassembly Or unscheduled life limiting outcomes Or quality escapes Or sub- optimal outcomes. Nice crystal clear English . The man says what he means and means what he says and no translation is required. Take note Boeing executives ! And this is from a man not using his mother tongue .

    When a company fucks up so bad, and other companies in the same industry get mad, you know they fucked something up really bad to the point where its felt by everyone in the industry...
