I've always liked Boeing. I hold shares of Boeing stock, but the recent goings on there are ridiculous. It's like nobody really gives a damn.
I think lots of people within Boeing care deeply about their customers, product quality and the company. I think the problem is with those in charge and their singular focus on profit. Read this white paper and take note of the date. What we are seeing today is a problem long in its creation.
