From what I've read, following the merger Boeing was no longer run out of Seattle but Chicago. How can you effectively manage a manufacturing facility from halfway across the country?
What we are seeing is regulatory capture by McDonald-Douglass top level executives and board of the FAA. Standard operating procedure for the capitalists. Everything is permissible as long as it increases their and the shareholders' profiteering.
- coredog64 5y agoThere’s a huge facility in Everett where they “manage the manufacturing facility”. It was built during the 777 era and, at least when I was there, everyone called it the “Taj Mulally” after Alan Mulally the director of engineering. Mulally stayed with Boeing in increasingly higher positions until he left to be the CEO of Ford in 2006.

How can you effectively manage a manufacturing facility from halfway across the country? It's worse than that: They deliberately moved management to Chicago to separate management decisions from engineers. All those pesky pocket-protector-wearing eggheads were considered a nuisance who were apparently hellbent to rain on MBA powerpoint parades.
