it's worse than that : airplane pilots are certified for a particular set of aircraft (and that's why the 737 max came to existence). Even if a company wanted to boycott Boeing, on top of refresh its current fleet it would have to re-train and re-certified all its employees.

Weirdly enough, most of Air France & KLM fleet are comprised of Boeing planes



> Most of Air France & KLM fleet are comprised of Boeing planes

Are you sure about that? On WP I see 79 Boeing out of 223 planes for Airbus, but I’m not expert. Is there any wider fleet to consider? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France

KLM has 13 Airbus out of 123 airframes, that part is correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM

HOP is mostly Bombardier/Embraer, etc.
