What's wrong with Airbus?
Airbus orders are booked till 2029 iirc. Disclaimer, I might be wrong. And I don't feel like fact checking.
If their airplanes are as reliable as their houses or infrastructure, this is going to be even worse than Boeing.
I mean… Boeing is a pretty low bar to jump over these days
