That is the root of the problem. Boeing’s management style and decline is a symptom of the disease, not the cause. Just look at the auto industry in the US to see where Boeing will end up if it continues. Constant bail outs and worse products. [emoji2357]
With the CS100 series, one of the complaints on Boeing’s end was how subsidized it was by the Canadian government that at the price that Delta was purchasing them it was impossible to compete. They aren’t wrong, but still scummy to rely on regulators to shoot down the a new type like that when they weren’t directly competing.
