Boeing, a once fine company run by engineers has been ruined by the bean counters that ruined McDonnel Douglas. I have a high school friend that is very high up at Boeing, he was one of the MD guys that ruined that place. Boeing still has a lot of good planes out there, the 737 700, 800 and 900, and the later 767's and the long discontinued 757 and 747i and the 777. But the Max series and the 787 are crap.

Boeing hid questionable parts from regulators that may have been installed in 737 Max planes, new whistleblower alleges

Boeing is a cautionary tale about modern American capitalism and where it can lead.

Oh sure, you create lots of “shareholder value” by compromising safety and the long term sustainability of your business.

Hooray?
