I completely agree that the C-suite has been the primary problem crippling Boeing. Capitalism is fixing the problem as Boeing’s business units have been struggling relative to their competitors (Airbus, SpaceX, Lockheed, etc.). If Boeing doesn’t fix its issues, capitalism will put it out of business. Unfortunately, it sucks to watch a titan of our economy slowly die due to completely preventable problems.
