Here's the change that needs to be made (more accurately, reversed):
>>Boeing outsources a lot of the production of components for its aircraft because it’s cheaper as part of an overall shift in strategy that dates to CEO Harry Stonecipher who had been CEO of McDonnell Douglas,
>>>> "When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm."
IOW, the McDonnel Douglas, now Boeing, CEO deliberately wrecked the engineering firm to make finance primary. In my book, that merits being tarred, feathered, drawn, and quartered. He's putting millions of lives at risk, risking the defense capabilities of the US, and already killed hundreds. All to line the pockets of himself and his cronies.
The only question is whether the engineering organization is too far lost to reconstitute.
