Airport Delays

[terracore]

I’m shocked that Boeing after decades of being the best is going through so much trouble today. That 777 documentary shows that back in the 1990’s Boeing’s business management system was run by the engineers. Damn the cost, it was quality quality quality. 

Shortly thereafter, Boeing’s business model changed to “enhanced shareholder value”, "stock buybacks" and bottom line profit. I think we are seeing today how that model works - especially for an airplane manufacturer.

It was after they merged with McDonnell Douglas.   After MD got managed into the ground they merged with Boeing and kept MDs crappy method of running the company.
