Boeing needs to update their info(is the old info a sign of the
company's disarray?).

That's not a Boeing website, you know.

True, but they still have this out there...

Well, yes. But it's a periodical newsletter (though it doesn't have a date
on it). What shoud they dio, rewrite all their old press releases and
newsletters every time a program changes? That would sort of undermine the
value of these as historical records, wouldn't it? (Not to mention eating
up huge amounts of resources.)


Well, I'm certainly on record for maintaining historical posterity...
However, this is as much about commercial marketing for commercial
purposes (selling 737 NGs)so I'm pretty surprised they haven't touted
thier offering more.
For a view on the cynical nature of these companies'(one of them at
least) aircraft offerings for a current project, check this out:
