You have to go back much further, to the late 90's. Because the problems in the industry takes a long time to surface. Muilenburg was a product of the deteriorated culture in Boeing and of course could not do anything but continue along the same path.
- lukan 3y agoBlaming only him would be wrong, sure. "and of course could not do anything but continue along the same path" But I am not so sure about that. You do not have absolute power as a CEO, but you can influence some things. Like hiring people checking for quality. And if they find things (and they would have, if they were competent) then fixing them before crashes would have been waaaay cheaper.
