NY Times: Airbus Pulls Further Ahead of Boeing in Global Plane Rivalry

Is this the beginning of the end for Boeing? Airbus will have a next-generation single-aisle body by the 2030s. Will Boeing have the resources to compete?
The European aerospace giant said it would deliver 800 planes this year, including its A320neo, which competes with Boeing’s troubled 737 Max. Airbus also announced progress on a new, more fuel-efficient aircraft.

Killing the 757 left a big gap in their lineup and handed that segment to Airbus. The -10MAX doesn't seem to be any closer to service than it was five years ago. Airbus has a wildly-successful single-aisle product that does not carry the -MAX taint and has better pax-ex than any 737.
Maybe Boeing is secretly working on a clean-slate 737 replacement. Maybe not: "The all-new 737-MAXXXVI"...

Boeing gets huge contracts from assorted governments for military aircraft, so no, not the beginning of the end, but if they keep trying to squeeze an old platform like they've done to the 737 vs a new frame, maybe not.

I also felt that they missed in marketing too. Airbus was always going around the world it trying to sell their Neo even to small airlines and arranging finance etc while Boeing was not interested in doing so.
