All of that changed when McDonnel Douglas merged with Boeing.

  Why do you pin it there?

    When Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997 essential McDonnell's management moved into Boeing's c-suite. What essentially was a very engineering driven culture was replaced by finance and marketing geeks that very much moved away from this approach (and moved Boeing's headquarters to Chicago in 2001 and in the process management away from engineering and construction). Sadly (and arguably) culminating in the two crashes we read about recently.
