Associated Press FinanceCommercial jet maker Airbus is staying humble even as Boeing flounders. There's a reason for that.
In the latest round of their decades-long battle for dominance in commercial aircraft, Europe’s Airbus established a clear sales lead over Boeing even before the American company encountered more fallout from manufacturing problems and ongoing safety concerns. Airbus has outpaced Boeing for five straight years in plane orders and deliveries, and just reported a 28% quarterly increase in net profit. It was already winning market share by beating Boeing to develop a line of fuel-efficient, mid-sized aircraft that are cheaper for airlines to fly.

Frank Anderson Shrontz, the former chief executive officer and chairman of planemaker Boeing and part owner of the Seattle Mariners baseball team, has died, the Mariners said in a statement on Saturday. Shrontz joined Boeing in 1958 before taking a hiatus and then rejoined the company to later become its chief executive officer for a decade.

Associated Press FinanceBoeing locks out its private firefighters around Seattle over pay dispute
Boeing has locked out its private force of firefighters who protect its aircraft-manufacturing plants in the Seattle area and brought in replacements after the latest round of negotiations with the firefighters' union failed to deliver an agreement on wages. The company said Saturday that it locked out about 125 firefighters and a facility about 170 miles (275 kilometers) away in central Washington. The firefighters serve as first responders to fires and medical emergencies and can call in help from local fire departments.
