Boeing is failing because it's a private company with no market consequences for doing badly and no domestic competition. Those are not caused by self-regulation they are caused by bad economic policy. Regulation is a part of the story but the rot at Boeing started long before the self-regulation did. Their quality and ability to compete at a profit has been dropping for longer than the regulatory issues.
