Seattle-based TV station KING recently conducted an interview with Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Jim Albaugh. In the interview, Albaugh discusses a wide range of topics regarding BCA's current focus as well as its future goals. He shares some great insight on Boeing's inevitable plan of replacing its venerable and highly popular Next Generation 737 Aircraft (will the company simply re-engine the current 737, or come out with a completely new design along the lines of the 787?). He talks about what site will produce this new generation of 737 aircraft (Washington, or perhaps somewhere else?). He also shares his views on the labor strikes that have plagued his division over recent years, the future of the 777 (will that aircraft need to be revamped to make it more competitive with Airbus' A350?), and the game plan to win the KC-X Tanker Replacement program (which will be based on a commercial 767 aircraft). So if you've got about 15 minutes of time to kill, click the link below. I highly recommend it.
