Robert Isom expressed frustration with Boeing, stating, "We're going to be able to deliver the capacity that we've said we would for the remainder of this year" despite ongoing struggles over the past five years. He emphasized that American Airlines does not heavily depend on Boeing deliveries, indicating confidence in managing the business independently of Boeing's issues.
Isom mentioned, "I look forward to the day when they're not just a distraction," reflecting a desire for Boeing to deliver quality aircraft on time. He noted the challenges Boeing has faced in recent years, and underscored the importance of Boeing's performance for the airline industry.
During the interview, Isom said, "At the end of the day, though, we need them to deliver quality aircraft on time, and I'll be welcoming that phone call when Boeing says: 'We're going to do that'... We've been struggling with them for over the last five years." This underscores the critical need for timely deliveries from Boeing.
