I suspect that Wolf is generally right. The Boeing counterpart to the A340 is the 777, and yet they proposed a smaller 767-based tanker, probably because the 777-based tanker hadn’t been developed yet. Either they thought they could get away with it, or they weren’t interested. It’s hard to tell which. A 777-based tanker would have been much more responsive.

Boeing doubly shot themselves in the foot, because now, Airbus will be making commercial aircraft in Alabama, negating a lot of the advantage Boeing has with the weak dollar.

I have no idea what they were thinking.
