Shareholders had a lot to gripe about. The company's stock has lost about 10% of its value since the March 10 crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet, the second fatal crash of the company's bestselling plane. A Lion Air 737 Max crashed under similar circumstances in October. The second crash prompted a worldwide grounding of the 737 Max last month. The safety feature forces down the plane's nose if a sensor detects it is climbing too fast and at risk of a stall. Apparently the sensor on the two flights gave a false reading. Two weeks after the Ethiopian crash, Boeing announced the software fix would add data from a second sensor that measures the horizontal tilt of the plane.

Even though Airbus will end the program in 2021, we will most likely see the aircraft for years to come. Airbus admitted that it was probably ten years too late when it introduced the A380. Some people say that the project was doomed to fail from the beginning. Additionally, it looks like Airbus never even came close to making a profit with the airplane. * |

The A 380 was safe, it just misjudged the market for jumbo airplanes, just like the Edsel misjudged the market for huge sedans. |
