Igor Sikorsky, early aviation pioneer and inventor in the helicopter once said:
"In those early days, the Chief Engineer was almost always the Chief Pilot as well. This had the automatic result of eliminating poor engineering very early in aviation."
Maybe time for a return to that standard for Boeing?
What ever happened to the Boeing/Aerion joint venture for a supersonic bizjet?
The Boeing/Embraer JV for a 737 replacement?
The Boeing/Safran JV to produce their own APU engines in-house?
Will this JV also die on the vine?

As much of a mess as it was, it was a fair trolley problem trade, and if the owner/engineer who ignored expert opinion was not among the victims there would have been a lot more social friction over the matter of manslaughter, surviving to reframe a misfortune, etc.
