Airbus can’t just jump in and suddenly make all the planes to replace Boeing’s civilian sector. Moreover they are irreplaceable in the defence sector. If Boeing really is to go down completly, it will take years of bad news.
This is the way. Bail them out when they tank, but do so with a 51% (pr more!) stock purchase by the gov on behalf of the people/society. Force a new board. Fix the company. If they’re ever profitable again they’re free to buy their stock back from the gov at the market price. I’m not usually a capitalist, but an /actual/ capitalist bailout seems like a good way to fix the rot in this case.
Probably not even Boeing’s space program.

Well it has been a few years of bad news…
