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.

Boeing certainly has two or three senators and a passle of congressmen in their corner, however their commercial space division, commercial aircraft division, and military business are all taking some serious kicks in the teeth despite political advantage. Politicians will always take corporate money, but they only back corporate winners in the long run.

Boeing’s lawyers need to up their game. All these media hit pieces from all corners of the media this last 10 days or so; "Boeing jet incident, Scary Skies", etc., when in reality United is letting Boeing take all the heat of their current Maintenance woes.

What is so special (or lacking) with United’s maintenance?

United plane off the runway: Boeing's fault.
United 777 $h!ts a hydraulic system: Boeing's fault.
United plane loses wheel: Boeing's fault.
United 737 sheds a panel in flight: Boeing's fault.
Not saying UAL's maintenance is uniformly shoddy, but odds are at least one or two of the incidents above are on United and not Boeing.
That said, Boeing made this bed. Nobody there should be surprised that the media is taking every opportunity to drag them through the mud. Boeing's current reputation is 100% Boeing's fault.
