    You assume it gets off the ground. Starliner is 4 years behind, hasn’t had a flawless automated launch yet, and still hasn’t launched a manned crew, while the SpaceX Dragon 2 has made 30+ trips to the ISS on a fraction of the development budget.

      Also assuming the FAA doesn’t ban Boeing from air/spacecraft production. But then again space-X has done unsanctioned launches so maybe the laws don’t matter if you’re making rockets.
