- John asserts Boeing doe snot study the airplane market on an operational
- sense.
-
- I have to disagree. I know the other big companies constantly study the passeng
- er market, looking for missions. Sure, the airlines study the market,
- but Boeing has to figure out what distance, payload and cost and speed.
-
- the 727, 707, 747, 767 were all developed based upon studies that
- N number of people wanted to go between certain distances and at certain
- times. otherwise we'd still be using DC-3s.
