The Starliner program is a painfully unprofitable fixed-price contract with NASA. Which is a relatively minor Boeing customer. Vs. the X-37B program is likely to be a highly profitable cost-plus contract with the Pentagon. Which is a far bigger Boeing customer. I'd figure that Boeing has kept its eyes on the bottom lines when assigning people and resources to the two programs.
