Yes, but considering the bad publicity, cancellations (and yet the company in 2023 reached the highs of 2014 in orders, around 1,514 (but still Airbus ahead by about 200), delays in deliveries etc then a net loss of $2.2 billion is extraordinary
The reality is Boeing is along with (selection) Dupont, Huntington Ingalls abd Electric Boat (navy warships), Lockheed Martin, Dow Chemicals, Pfizer, ExxonMobil, Visa, Mastercard, General Electric, Alphabet (Google) Microsoft, NVidia, Intel and a few others a strategic company for the U.S. Lehman Brothers can fail, Amtrak can fail, Home Depot or Costco or Coca Cola even can fail, companies like these can't be allowed to fail.

The current Boeing is an amalgamation of what were once 25 different aerospace related companies. Not just Mac D but Rocketdyne, North American, Piaski helicopter, hell, even lowly for flight and Jeppesen. Maybe it needs to be broken up into pieces that are actually manageable.
