Any business run entirely by money men is usually ground into the dirt. Any company that doesn't listen to its engineers is going to come to grief and with it as in this case death of a huge number of paying passengers. Any company that doesn't understand the issues raised by staff making the things and pretends its not a problem or worse sacks those very staff deserves whatever fate has in store for them. Making an aeroplane is at best risking the lives of your passengers and if you hand over the safety of that craft to a bunch of computers programmed by nerds with little oversight or understanding of the consequences of their errors is going to be costly in lives. Flying is not a computer game, you cannot reboot and it all goes away when it is already too late.
All this about Boeings high tech design of the past is silly, they are still flying an aircraft that was for the most part designed in the 60´s. I have worked a lot on the 737 NG as a licensed engineer and it is a mess technically. Flight controls are medieval and the only updates made from accidents and bad design.
Boeing’s problems began long before the merger with McD-Douglas. In the first few years of Phil Condit’s tenure, he implemented a policy that when selecting employees for promotion to management, they would no longer consider technical excellence but rather hire managers based on their people skills and project management skills. After a couple decades, Boeing’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of management have astounding weak technical skills.
After the 737ng, Boeing should have stopped patching up a 60"s design and provided a non 737 new design, or a 757ng. Common type rating going back to the 737-100 for pilots saves the airlines money in training costs at the expense of lives lost in the two mishaps, crashes. Shame on a once great company.
Boeing will never go out of business because the US military depends on them, Boeing should have scrapped the 737 tooling and pushed on with the 757 not vice versa! The 757 would have been a better platform to re design with it;s excellent ground clearence enabling the latest gen engines to be easily accomodated.
Engineers can be and usually are good executives and CEOs. But non engineering executives and CEOs can never be Engineers at all, forget about being good engineers. Engineering is not just about making products to make money, it is all about creating excellence. Pure Money Men can never understand and appreciate that. They only know how to make money. Example: Boeing.

Boeing is like a small bakery having great success until they listen too much to their accountant.

Boeing 30 years ago,
CEO: 'How can we increase the quality and safety of our aircraft?"
Now:
CEO: "How can we increase profits and dividends."
Well, they do not pay any dividends anymore do they? I better go fact check myself.

Dump the Boeing 737 Max, bring back a re-engined 757
Reputation can NOT being repaired.
Whilst Airbus is growing in leaps and bounds, their main rival is Beoing around in circles 😂
Rinse and repeat of well known story. So "what" + "just" got worse?

This is the biggest mistake of what was Boeing.
That's what you get with "keep the music playing" CEOs. Boeing will have a very hard time reverting the bs culture that took over since the merger.

Don't think even Airbus will pay u for this post.
I think comac can be a replacement. unless US goverment do something to prevent that
Boeing and NASA make such a cute couple....I'll walk.
I think boeing will be have a comeback
Only if they work towards engineering excellence, keeping these Money Men away from key decision making positions.
good old fashioned American greed

Blaming MD is BS and an after construction.
Should be not for profit
Endless trash talk! Please help all to shut this channel down!
SKIP this video, NO news.
You must own stock in Airbus because you're so "Anti Boeing".
