Today’s mix: quality theatre, digital ambition, painful reminders, AI hype curves, regional jet reality, and a quirky American identity check.
1. Boeing tries to sell a quality story
A broken piece of spruce wood becomes Boeing’s latest attempt at retelling its “quality journey.”
It’s charming. It’s corporate. But it still doesn’t answer the bigger question: can storytelling fix systemic manufacturing weakness?

2. IATA’s digital travel manifesto
IATA’s latest dispatch tries to paint a unified future of seamless, digital-first travel.
The ideas are right. The execution still depends on the slowest players — and the least interoperable systems.

3. Airbus smacks Boeing — again
FlyDubai ordering 150 Airbus aircraft is more than a headline.
It’s a warning shot. Boeing’s widebody hopes can’t mask the narrowbody gap — and the Middle East is voting with its wallet.

4. “AI will let anyone be a travel agent”
Another confident take that AI turns everybody into an instant travel professional.
Tools get smarter; people don’t. Expertise still matters — and the gap widens when AI hallucination meets real-world logistics.

5. The regional jet paradox
Visual Approach nails it: high concentration hides surprising stability.
RJs aren’t dead — they’re just awkward. Expensive to operate, essential to networks, and trapped by pilot math.

6. Quirky: What makes an immigrant in the USA?
A NYT survey reveals how Americans define “immigrant” — and how wildly inconsistent the answers are.
It’s sociology disguised as politics, wrapped in confusion.
