As right as he is, Mr. Faury is very classy to say it.
He just doesn't want to be seen publicly gloating.
Of course, he's delighted with Boeing's blunders.
Worries about "the image of the industry" are nonsense. People won't stop flying.
Doubt it. Boeing is big enough that safety concerns reflect upon air traffic in general. Doors falling off in the middle of the air etc results in fewer passengers and reduces the demand for planes. What he'd want is a gradual decline in the attractiveness of Boeing vs Airbus, corruption scandals, strategic missteps, etc - not scandals related to accidents or quality,
