Worrying about who to blame is a job for lawyers, managers and people with emotional ties to the company. It distracts from the more important question of, what to do about the fact that Boeing is a dangerously broken "too big to fail" (code for a national firm in Americanese) money pit? My vote would be to remove the bullshit capitalist figleaf and just nationalize it. This has the advantage of aligning expectations for Americans, who are convinced government can't function competently. More seriously, left to their own devices, Boeing will continue to shove enormous gobs of money into executive pockets. Make them GS-scale and most of them will leave, clearing the way for an attempt at hiring some competence.
